About this title

From the Back Cover:

Despite a traumatic childhood, young Anna McIntyre's indomitable spirit has won her many friends in the Argyllshire village where she lives. She is liked by everyone, especially by Lady Pandora of the Big House, who sees her young self in this lively girl, and by her nephew Peter, who falls deeply in love with Anna. However, the person who should be closest to her resents her deeply, for reasons she cannot understand...

Roderick McIntyre, her father, is a tyrant, with an insatiable taste for women and a determination to crush Anna's spirit. And when a surprise offer promises her the freedom she's yearned for, Roderick, too, sees his chance – to fulfil an enduring passion – and to shatter Anna's dreams forever. But Roderick has not counted on the courage of his only daughter, nor on the many enemies he had made in Leannachoran, enemies waiting for revenge...

"A poignant tale of love lost and found by an author who has won a huge audience for her warm, absorbing tales of ordinary folk"
ANNABEL
