The Maxwell Ghost (The Stelton Legacy)

Description

Caerlaverock Castle, located on the Scottish border, is in an uproar. Traitors, deception, murder, and ghosts run riot. The food stores have been tainted and the granaries set ablaze. Rumors fly when servants Evan and his bride-to-be, Angel, are found murdered. It is believed that in the heat of an argument, Evan killed Angel when she threatened to expose him, and, distraught over his impulsive actions, he took his own life. Now his ghost haunts the castle.

A young cook, Sonia, is sure everyone has it wrong and the ghost haunts the castle to seek justice. She will move heaven and earth to get to the truth, but she is helpless.

Laura Reynolds travels from England to put Evan’s ghost to rest. They have one week to complete the task or Evan’s ghost is doomed to haunt the castle forever. Laura’s cousin, The Maxwell, while he loves her, doesn’t believe in her sorceress ways. With the unsettled times, he cannot send her back to England right away, so he lets her pursue her investigation.

Jamie Maxwell Collins has finished his service to The Maxwell and eager for his promised farm. While longtime friends with Laura, he has little patience for her hocus pocus, but in order to get his farm, The Maxwell requires Jamie to protect and help her. Will Sonia’s information tip the scales and help them find justice for Evan and Angel? With Sonia’s insight, will Laura and Jamie see that the depths of their relationship goes way beyond friendship, or are they doomed to deny it forever?
