Gary Foster's life is finally heading in the right direction...
After years of trying, his wife, Beth, is pregnant,
...
Bold & arrogant, Tom Brodie is an object of desire for every girl in Ayrshire
- & Betsy Mc Bride is no exception. But Tom has no intention of marrying a mere servant-girl. He's already set his heart on Rose Hewitt, his landlord's pretty young daughter. Her innocence masks a passion to match his own
- & besides, a runaway marriage to Rose will wipe out the family's debts at a stroke.
But a rash promise made to his father on his deathbed & the predictions of a scheming old witch woman intervene... then a visit from Betsy's swaggering Irish cousin changes all their fortunes.
