Scotland, 1885
As the daughter of a mariner, Sarah McLeod dreads the future her father has planned for her – a lifetime of hardship as a fisherman's wife. Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, she secures a position as a parlourmaid at the grand Portweem House.
There she meets Alasdair Ferguson, the handsome son of the laird. Despite the rigid divide between their worlds, a secret romance blossoms as they steal moments together in an abandoned forest bothy. When Alasdair declares his love, Sarah dares to believe a different future is within her reach.
But their happiness is threatened by the expectations of society and a wealthy heiress who seems a far more suitable match. As pressure mounts from all sides, Sarah must decide whether love is worth risking everything for.
A sweeping historical saga of forbidden romance, family conflict, and a young woman's determination to forge her own destiny.
About Liz Harris
Liz Harris is an award-winning author of 28 novels, including emotional and heartwarming sagas that are perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin, Rachel Brimble and AnneMarie Brear.
Her latest series of sagas, The House of McLeod, is set in Scotland in the 1880s, and was a joy to research for someone who loves to travel, as Liz does, as it involved Liz going up to beautiful Scotland for several weeks and staying in Central Scotland, Fife and Edinburgh, where the three books are set.
After graduating in Law in the UK, Liz moved to California where she led a varied life - from cocktail waitressing on Sunset Strip to secretary to the CEO of a large Japanese trading company. Upon returning to England, she completed a degree in English and then taught in a secondary school for a number of years before developing her writing career.
Liz now lives in Windsor, Berkshire. Her two sons have fled the nest, and now have families of their own. In what free time she has, which isn't much, she loves to travel, go to the theatre and cinema, do cryptic crosswords, and above all, to lose herself in a novel!
