Loved By the Laird by Jillian Eaton

A terrible curse, a determined Scot, and a love worth fighting for….
When Callum Campbell goes in search of a lost friend amidst the ruins of Blackmoore Castle, the last thing he expects to find is the Black Bride. She’s supposed to be legend; a ghost story meant to scare young children into staying in their beds. But the beautiful woman that tends to his wounds after a fall from his horse is no ghost.

Or maybe she is. Either way, Callum is determined to claim her for his own…if he can defeat the evil spirit that’s keeping her chained to the castle first.
