Castle Of Dreams

by Maura Seger

BURIED TREASURE...

Held hostage by terrorists, British industrialist James Wyndham had to become as hard and as cold as his captors. Now, four years later, his belief in tenderness and mercy was nonexistent...and his aching heart was as deeply buried as the legendary Wyndham jewels.

But with sweet freedom, he discovered, came bitter betrayal: his business empire usurped; his bride-to-be engaged to his brother; and Innishfarrin, his rocky Scottish castle, invaded by a flaxen-haired wench.

True, enchanting Kristina McGinnis offered him gentle, sensual homage, but he couldn't believe she wanted him and not the jewels Innishfarrin held hidden. But even if he was her treasure, her gossamer dreams, spun of sunshine and smiles, would never survive the darkness in his soul...

She is happily at work on a new novel, because she finds that writing each romance is and adventure filled with fascinating people who never fail to surprise her.

Reviews

[Saly · Rating 4 out of 5]

There was nothing really special about this book yet I enjoyed it. Our hero is a wealthy man who has just returned home after four years in captivity. He tries to pretend as if nothing really happened to him at all. The heroine is a history professor running a project in his family castle. From the start these two share an attraction and the hero feels whole and care-free around her. The romance is enjoyable and the heroine knows how to call him on his BS. Although I was surprised that not much is said about the hero's captivity and we don't really see if he somehow dealt with it.

This is the first romance book I ever read. It’s still just as good the 5th re-read as it was the first!
