"The Gift is about Nathan St. James and Sara Winchester who were forced to marry when they were 14 and 4 years old. Years after the wedding, Nathan comes to collect Sara so their marriage contract can be completed. They set sail for an island with Sara's Aunt Nora, who Sara rescued from her family. One mishap after another happens on the way, while Sara and Nathan grow closer. Upon their return to England, they are confronted with an upcoming scandal that could tear apart the love they just found. Some characters from Guardian Angel appear in The Gift, which is third in a series. (The Lion's Lady, Guardian Angel, The Gift, and Castles.)"
