Synopsis is below.
In this richly detailed Victorian romance, Tannahill (Dark and Distant Shore)
tells of two cousins, Sophie and Rachel Macmillan, who grow up on different
continents only to end up fierce rivals for possession of a castle-and a man's
love. In the mid-1800s, eight-year-old Rachel finds herself transported from
the slums of London to Juran, a castle in the Scottish Highlands, after her
mother marries its owner, immensely wealthy Scotsman Daniel Macmillan. Daniel
is Rachel's natural father and the marriage legitimizes her, but only after a
tragic accident does the truth about Rachel's parentage become publicly known.
After yet another accident, Rachel narrowly escapes a murder charge and becomes
mistress of Juran. The lively narrative weaves back and forth between Rachel's
life in the wild Highlands and Sophie's in bustling Hong Kong, where she grows
up motherless. As the daughter of Daniel's late older brother, Sophie
eventually decides to lay claim to her birthright. She and Rachel then battle
over the title to Juran-and the affections of the dark, sexy banker Rainer
Blake. To Rachel, Juran symbolizes both her freedom and her servitude;
ultimately, she discovers that to be truly free, she must endure monumental
sacrifice.
