Summary
On a windswept Scottish brae where purple heather claws at the sky, the heir to a crumbling earldom, dandified yet restive, toys with matrimony to his porcelain ward—an heiress whose dowry could roof every turret of the ancestral pile. But the chafing of lace cuffs against sunburned skin betrays him: he is magnetised by the peat-scented daughter of a crofter, a girl whose palms are calloused from twisting straw into thatch and whose lilting psalmody drifts across the glen at dusk. Between the manicured parterres of the Big House and the thistle-choked kirkyard, two value systems collide—rent ledgers versus rent hearts—until a night of whisky-soaked revelation sends the titled prodigal hurtling toward a bothy lit by tallow and trembling hope.
