Summary #1 "Unfinished Busisness" by Jude Deveraux

This does not amuse Ms. Celeste and she begins to take matters into her own hands and dismisses Taylor when it comes out that she is indeed not Krissy.
Taylor does not go home but goes on her own adventure and decides to investigate more by herself or so she has intended. When she goes out the next day and goes up to the castle she is dumped on by the good scottish rain and rushes for shelter and virtually runs into Joel where they then decide to investigate together and go to the nearest B & B for a meal and end up staying the night where they eventually make love and fall in love.
