The clan of Balfour is without a real leader. A boy of 12 has inherited the title after the laird, along with all his sons, was cut down in battle. The boy, a nephew of the dead laird, is currently living in the castle with the late laird's daughter, Frances Balfour.
Lately, Frances has been haunted by the howling of a ghostly dog. Called the Bokey hound by her people, he appears whenever a Balfour is destined to die. Frances uses every weapon in her limited arsenal to keep George, her young ward, safe and in power, but she and the boy are without real protection and the castle is in constant danger of being taken. Frances is afraid she will be forced to wed and George quietly disposed of by the interloping new laird. What Frances desperately needs is a miracle. What she gets is Colin; a strong man powerful enough to protect her small corner of the world and decent enough to protect her heart.
A seasoned storyteller, Jackson delivers another entertaining story with THE NIGHT SIDE.
Book Summary
Colin Mortloch was a spy for Henry VIII and had seen many strange and violent things, especially since he had 'the sight' the ghosts of murdered men were happy to betray their killers. But Noltlund Castle held a mystery like no other, a Scottish hellhound called The Bokey, and a strange and lovely mistress who was every bit as adept as Colin when it came to matters of political intrigue.
