The Mariner's Daughter

Scotland, 1885

As the daughter of a mariner, Sarah McLeod dreads the future her father has planned for her – a lifetime of hardship as a fisherman's wife. Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, she secures a position as a parlourmaid at the grand Portweem House.

There she meets Alasdair Ferguson, the handsome son of the laird. Despite the rigid divide between their worlds, a secret romance blossoms as they steal moments together in an abandoned forest bothy. When Alasdair declares his love, Sarah dares to believe a different future is within her reach.

But their happiness is threatened by the expectations of society and a wealthy heiress who seems a far more suitable match. As pressure mounts from all sides, Sarah must decide whether love is worth risking everything for.
