'A well written, authentic Victorian story set in Scotland. It is rich in detail and emotion.' Bestselling author Fenella J Miller
When independence comes at a price...
Scotland, 1885
Grace McLeod’s life changes overnight when her father sells the family grocer’s shop and moves the family from their Highland village to a distant fishing town. But Grace refuses to follow.
Desperate to maintain her independence, she reluctantly agrees to an arranged marriage to Angus MacKenzie – a stranger who makes it clear he doesn’t want her, and who is in love with another woman. When Grace arrives at the mill she now must call home, she finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and ambition. Unknown to her, Angus’s cousin is plotting to take over the mill and destroy her marriage from within, and he’s enlisted Angus’s former lover to help him.
As secrets and sabotage threaten to ruin everything Grace has tried to build, she must decide whether to fight for a life she never wanted – or walk away with nothing.
A sweeping, emotionally rich saga about betrayal, resilience, and a woman brave enough to demand more.
‘Romantic and atmospheric; a story rich in historical detail and plot twists’ Bestselling author Elaine Johns
