WHITE MIST Book Four of the Regency Rogues/White Quartet Jaclyn Reding Topaz Historical Romance, November, 2000 ISBN No.: 0-451-20157-4, 324 Pages, $5.99
Faced with her questionable parentage and a doomed relationship, Lady Eleanor Wycliffe disappears from her brother's highland estates. Afraid her brother will search for her, Eleanor seeks refuge from her past on the remote [fictional] Isle of Trelay in the Scottish Hebrides.
With the need for secrecy and shelter her primary motivation, Eleanor assumes the identity of Nell Harte and accepts a long-unfilled position as governess at Dunevin Castle. Nasty rumors that her employer Gabriel MacFeagh is "The Devil of Dunevin Castle" don't deter Eleanor. However dangerous, Dunevin provides a temporary answer to her problems.
Eleanor notes the strange occurences at Dunevin, the least of which are the mysterious disappearance of the Laird's wife, his daughter's resulting inability to speak and a strange legend that curses the MacFeaghs. Has she made the right choice?
She was utterly surrounded by them... Eleanor could feel their frozen gazes coming at her from all sides, watching her in silent study as she sat with her hands folded, gloved fingers laced tightly in her lap. No matter where she looked or how she tried to avoid them, they were there, their tiny voices whispering to her on the flurry of the island wind-- Run... Get out now.... Before its too late...
Even after incurring her employer's wrath, Eleanor cannot believe Gabriel capable of the wicked deeds the townsfolk accuse him of. Nor can she believe that she has fallen in love with the man. Sadly, Eleanor harbors little hope. How could anyone love someone with a past such as hers, if the truth ever came to light? Closing the curtain on her Regency Rogues Quartet with WHITE MIST, Jaclyn Reding once again satisfies the reader while leaving them thirsting for more. As a devoted reader of this sensational series, I am extremely sad to see it end.
However, all is not lost--Jaclyn's next romance, set on the Scottish Isle of Skye, is coming soon! And "Written in the Stars," included in the anthology, IN PRAISE OF YOUNGER MEN is being released March, 2001.
