Synopsis

Cynthia McKenna is an attractive, respected senior editor at a New York publishing firm. Raised by her widowed grandmother and engaged to a wonderful man, she is content with her life, but the sudden inheritance of an estate in North Carolina tips her carefully balanced existence. Her great-grandfather, Lord Jeremy Maxwell of Scotland, established a large estate, which has been left to her by a great aunt. Having no use and actually no first hand knowledge of the property, she takes the advice of her fiancé and lists the property for sale. But a letter from her real estate agent piques her curiosity and she must journey to the mountains of Western North Carolina to inspect it. Once she sees her ancestral home near the town of High Glen, long buried memories from the past appear, causing her to question fundamental aspects of her life. It doesn't help that another REALTOR John McCloud is different from every other man she has known, including her fiancé. A long dead secret shrouds her inheritance, and Cynthia is confronted with a mystery that makes her fear for her life.

That is until she must go to the mountains of western North Carolina to inspect her inheritance, an estate founded by Lord Jeremy Maxwell, great grandfather from Scotland.

She meets John McCloud who is so different than what she is used to that she must face something more than the sale of her estate. So she must come to terms with her New York fince', her city values, John and the secret that shrouds her inheritance. As she struggles with these decisions, she must also deal with a stalker on her property. A safe deposit box holds the key to all her questions. And she must wait a year to open the box.
