Could she compete with a memory? After her fiance's death, Rachel had gone to Scotland to try to pick up the threads of her life. Once there, however, her life became tangled with the lives of two others--an elfin-faced child who refused to speak after the tragic loss of her mother; and the ill-fated husband who must have truly adored his wife. As governess, Rachel thought she could help Melanie. But there was nothing she could do for Richard Duncan, except fall in love with him!
