Rosie MacDonald and her parents left their family home in the Scottish Highlands to "Uncle Donald" after Mr. MacDonald realized an unfortunate investment. The family is living in Wiltshire when Rosie's grandmother demands the young lady accompany her on a rail tour of the highlands.
Eager for a vacation and a glimpse of her old stomping grounds, Rosie consents to her domineering grandmother's demands. Rosie plans the time as a break for her aunt who normally cares for her grandmother. Mrs. MacDonald demands the constant attendance and exacting standards of those who care for her.
When her grandmother sprains her ankle at their first stop Rosie and Mrs. MacDonald must allow their new acquaintances on the train to move on without them. The local doctor has several responsibilities and has received assistance from Fergus Cameron.
Mrs. MacDonald finds the youngish doctor to be competent despite the dislike between Rosie and the doctor. Fergus doesn't reveal to Rosie or her grandmother this renown in the medical world. Fergus takes every chance he gets to visit with the young lady, even going so far as to bring her along with him when he examines her Uncle Donald.
With her grandmother's recovery and Uncle Donald's death, the MacDonald family returns to their home allowing Fergus to further his suit with the unsuspecting Rosie.
More passionate than her earlier novels, A Kind of Magic follows the meeting of independent Rosie and strong-willed Fergus as they grow toward each other in a true Neels romance.
