Shadow of the Cat

Castle Doom. That was what the locals called it. And with good cause. For the Mackintosh curse hung over the sprawling, gloomy Scottish castle, so out of place in the southern Ohio wilderness, as heavily as the mists that hovered over the dark lake that bordered it....Plagued by her family's scandal, Ashley Osborne eagerly accepted the position as governess to Hugh Mackintosh's son and niece, hoping to find peace at last. But her spirits were quickly dashed upon her arrival at Mackintosh Hall. Frightened by strange whisperings, shadowy figures, and near-fatal accidents, Ashley was caught up in a sinister world of innuendo and fear. Deeply drawn to the dark, brooding Hugh, Ashley was haunted by deep misgivings and terrifying questions. Was there a killer loose at Castle Doom who was determined to make the curse come true? Could it ever be broken? and was Ashley's love strong enough to destroy the curse forever? This was a fabulous book, well worth reading.
