Her Aunt's Inheritance

THE QUEEN OF SCOTTISH SAGAS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A sweeping story of finding love when you least expect it from Sunday Times bestselling author Evelyn Hood📚 Is her inheritance worth holding on to?

Broominch, Scottish Borders, 1980’s

When twenty-two-year-old teacher Jessica Taylor inherits Rowan Cottage in the Scottish Borders from her great-aunt Kate, she travels north from England intending to sell. But as she settles into the peaceful cottage, she begins to question that decision.

Kate’s abrupt lawyer, Adam Brodie, assumes Jessica will sell to his beautiful, possessive girlfriend, Ishbel Stevenson. But Ishbel’s determination to acquire the property only makes Jessica more reluctant to part with it.

Drawn to the domineering Adam, Jessica finds herself caught between attraction and suspicion. Why do some locals remember Kate fondly while others speak of her with scorn? And what secrets lie buried in Rowan Cottage?

When Ishbel realises Jessica is becoming a rival for Adam’s affections, her charm turns to hostility, making Jessica’s new life increasingly difficult.

Jessica must decide whether Adam, Rowan Cottage and her great-aunt’s secrets are worth fighting for—or whether she should return to the safety of England.
