Will holding on to the business she has inherited mean a future without love?
Port Glasgow, Scotland 1930
Morag Weir s young life is full of responsibilities: caring for the ailing Sander Weir, the man who has raised her as his daughter; whilst managing his household and shipping business.
When Sander Weir dies, his brother Lawrence is outraged to learn that Morag will inherit Sander s large home as well as a controlling interest in his shipping firm.
Complicating matters, Lawrence is Morag s real father having abandoned her when he remarried when Morag was six years old. Despite his past fickleness, Lawrence feels he has the right to control Morag s new-found wealth.
As the business flounders, Morag must fight and find the courage to defy Lawrence and resist his efforts to overturn his brother s will and also wrestle control from the unscrupulous men who wish to take the business from her.
While everyone around her is finding love, the man Morag has fallen for seems to want nothing more than a professional relationship.
Can hard work prevail and will Morag find a balance at work and with her love life?
Storytelling at its best, Evelyn Hood is the original bestselling Scottish saga writer.
