Jaclyn Reding's knack for blending fast paced plots and unforgettable courtships is in full bloom in "White Heather"! The dashing son of a Duke, who has lost everything he owns and loves in a terrible fire, moves to a remote castle in Scotland. There he meets an heiress in hiding that will help him reclaim the life he had and find a passionate new romance!

A slasher movie turns real when two young actors are brutally murdered on a remote island film set. Their severed heads and arms are posed in a macabre homage to a nineteenth–century pirate massacre. Two years later, survivor Vanessa Loren is drawn back to South Bimini by a documentary being made about the storied region. Filmmaker Sean O'Hara aches to see how the unsolved crime haunts her and Sean knows more than a little about ghosts. Lured by visions of a spectral figurehead, Vanessa discovers authentic pirate treasures that only deepen the mystery. As Vanessa and Sean grow closer, the killer prepares to resume the slaughter...unless the dead can intervene.
