In 1849 Scotland, Marcus Cynster believes he will soon meet and
marry his Fate. Though attracted to
independent Niniver Carrick, Marcus believes she cannot be his; as Fate could
not so kind.
One year later, with her dad dead, her oldest brother missing and
assumed dead like her other male siblings, Niniver learns how bad the clan’s
finances are. She vows to never marry as
she cannot have a spouse interfere with her making it right for Clan
Carrick. Knowing unwanted suitors will
pursue her, Niniver turns to someone she trusts though fearful of her desire
for him, her neighbor Marcus for help. Surrounded by Cynster females, Marcus knows
firsthand strong women and believes now that Niniver is his Fate, but she needs
to conclude on her own that he is her fate too.
The third Cynster’s Next Generation (see By Winter’s Light) is an
appealing leisurely-paced Victorian romantic suspense that behooves the
audience to first read Marcus’ twin Lucilla’s novel (see The Tempting of Thomas
Carrick); which sets up much of the action in this tale. The contemplative, compassionate chats between
the leads make their relationship seem real; as Stephanie Laurens authors another
winner.
