The House of the Laird

When Karen was travelling on the night train to Edinburgh only half-recovered from pneumonia, she was lucky to have Iain Mackenzie swoop in. Taking her to his home in the Highlands, Craigie House, he cared for her and eventually asked her to marry him. Karen couldn’t quite believe that Iain truly wanted her, and the appearance of his stunning former love, Fiona Barrington, did not exactly help put her mind at ease... The memorable 20th-century love tale set in romantic Scotland was written by Susan Barrie, a pseudonym of the English romance writer Ida Pollock.

A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate.

Susan Barrie is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world.
