Losing Love
Maggie's beloved Lennox has been dead for ten years, and life is still unbearable without him. Neither of them knew she was carrying their child when he went off to war, but Ian bears a striking resemblance to his father, both in looks and mannerisms. There is no question regarding his parentage, and every day Maggie's heart breaks, knowing Lennox will never know his son.

The Burden of Royalty
Summoned to the castle by the king, Maggie learns of her royal lineage and struggles with the new demands and pressure put upon her. The king wants her to marry, provide him with more royal heirs, and he wants her to move into the castle. After some negotiating, she is allowed to remain at Brodie Manor with a posted guard. She wants to live at the home she and Lennox shared, and there are strange, unexplainable events that lead her to believe that somehow, he is still with her.

Enemies Resurface
Alexander deMortimer, a sworn enemy to Maggie, is uncle to her oldest son Kendric. He's re-surfaced at the castle and wants Maggie for his own. After repeated overtures and rejections, Alexander makes a desperate move that changes the lives of everyone at Brodie Manor.

the character's personalities were described so well.

I loved the story. the writing is very descriptive. I could see it all in my minds eye. Maggie's death brought tears..
