Sky's Gift
First in a trilogy, this magical novel will whisk you away to a Scottish isle with mysterious curses, family feuds, and a dash of romance.

Not only is the old feud between the Lamars and MacLeods still going strong, resulting in a particularly frosty welcome, there are also several types of curses wandering the island – ranging from minor annoyances to absolutely deadly.

When the curses suddenly change and new ones appear, Sky finds herself in a balancing act trying to keep her secret while figuring out what is going on …
