Lost Secrets of the Scottish Castle

When Perdita McKell’s brother Lennox asks her for help to fund his hairbrained scheme to renovate a tumbledown Scottish castle, she fears it will only end in disaster.

But a lifetime of sister guilt, complicated family relationships and a general sense of malaise are enough for her to ignore her instincts. The castle in question, Dunaire Castle, was the seventeenth-century home to their ancestor, the Earl George McKell, so Perdita can understand Lennox’s romantic notion that they should be the rightful owners and the ones to love it back to life.

Slowly and in ways Perdita could never have expected, Dunaire Castle begins to reveal its secrets; secrets and choices that have shaped the lives of generations of her family. As the McKell story opens up to her, Perdita realises that it’s in her hands to change the course of history and with it the course of her own life – if only she can work out how…

Let Jane Lovering whisk you away into the fascinating story of a Scottish castle, one family’s links to the past and a love story to remember. Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley, Veronica Henry and Heidi Swain.
