Picked up from the friends of the library book sale nook.
New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins begins a sparkling new series with this thrilling tale of a desperate beauty on an urgent quest, a dark earl scarred by his beastly past—and the ancient treasure that binds their fates.
A mysterious abductor . . . Someone is holding her brother prisoner in exchange for a gold-and-onyx box covered in mysterious runes, so Mary Hurst boldly sets out from the family vicarage to find the priceless artifact. But the man who possesses it, Angus Hay, the Earl of Erroll, is less than sympathetic to her plight.
A forbidding stranger . . . Himself a prisoner of his dark past, Angus refuses to yield the box—or allow Mary to leave! Suspicious of the alluring lass’s mission, he vows to wrest a confession from her, but unearths a fiery temper and a will as strong as his own.
An unbreakable curse . . . Passion flares between them, but now there is more at stake: an unknown enemy is hunting down the precious box, and will stop at nothing. Risking all for love, Angus must solve the mystery behind the runes . . . and trust the only woman who can awaken his forgotten heart.

I really enjoyed this book. The main character of Mary reminded me of the heroine from the movie The Mummy. An adventurous soul who sets off onto the unknown of Scotland to try and retrieve an item needed to ransom her brother's safety in Egypt.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Left in the take a book/leave a book shelves maintained by the friends of the Wilmette library in the vending lounge.
I brought this back home yesterday after I noticed that the book didn't have a bookcrossing sticker inside of it. So, I will be labeling the book and re-releasing it into the wild.
added note, the book seems to have gained a friends of the Wilmette Public Library sticker on it's spine after the most recent restocking of the book share shelves by The Friends of the Wilmette Public Library.
