Felicity Malcolm Childe's gift for experiencing visions through touch has always felt more like a curse than a blessing. To deflect the more agonising images generated by her suitors, she covers herself from head to toe. Only the maddeningly handsome Ewen Ives provokes tingles of pleasure rather than pain, but he is already betrothed. Her last hope is to go to Scotland to find the ancient book of spells that could allow her to extinguish her gift - and free her from its burden . . .
Ewen may be a brilliant inventor who can move rivers and harness lightening, but he knows better than to underestimate the mischief-making Malcolm sisters. In spite of his misgivings, he can't let the slight, heavily clad Felicity travel to Edinburgh without a proper escort.
Little does he suspect that beneath Felicity's unsightly cloak is a serenely practical woman whose remarkable beauty and courage will utterly captivate him - and ignite a fiery passion with the power to fulfil both their dreams.
