Publisher's Summary:
Will their passion for each other be a blessing or fulfill an ancient curse and destroy them?
Lucinda Stafford is uniquely unqualified to serve as governess for the children of a handsome inventor. But she's determined to prove to her family she's not a fragile, pampered heiress who can't take care of herself. She didn't plan to be attracted to the man who makes her furious one moment and whimper with desire the next. When danger threatens, can she save two innocent children from a terrifying nightmare?
Grayson Thorne has only weeks to prove his geothermal plant can generate electricity, or he'll lose much-needed funding. He's desperate to hire a new governess but shocked when his housekeeper returns home with a beautiful, educated female who awakens long dormant desires. She's the perfect choice if he can manage to keep his hunger for her kisses and fantasies of taking her to his bed under control.
An ancient Icelandic curse hides in the hills, haunting the residents of Thornehús. Grayson and Lucinda may be swept away by passion, but they must face an unspeakable horror that threatens them all.

It was OK
The supernatural aspect of the book played little part in the story, and frankly I think could have been left entirely out.
The heroine was a wealthy, young woman who had been staying abroad with an aunt. Her stepmother was busily trying to get her married off. The stepmother wasn't an evil woman -- just a bit of a social climber as she had been an actress before marrying the heroine's father. However the heroine wanted to prove she could look after herself, and she really had no romantic feelings for the man the stepmother picked out. So she gets her aunt to write a letter of recommendation. The heroine travels to Iceland as she wants to see a volcano and finds employment as a governess.
The hero is a busy fellow, working on harnessing on geothermal power. His wife had lost her sense of reality and committed suicide.
