Daughter of a marquess, Lady Felicity Malcolm Childe is expected to marry well, but her gift of psychometry has always been more curse than blessing. Tired of living in the shadows, wrapped in woolens to deflect the more agonizing images generated by her suitors, Felicity sets out to locate an ancient book of spells that might extinguish her dreadful gift.

He cannot allow a runaway Lady Felicity to travel to Edinburgh unescorted. But Felicity is not the helpless child he assumes.
