The Seat at His Table

Scotland, 1871. Sorcha MacAllan is the richest man's wife and the last person seated at the table. When her husband, Hamish Dunbar, gives the east wing to his widowed former betrothed, Sorcha is expected to pour the tea and say nothing. Instead she opens the estate ledgers and finds a scheme that will cost the glen its grazing land. She takes what she has found to the tenants — and the scandal reaches the parish before it reaches her husband. Hamish can keep the railway, the fortune, and the woman everyone expected him to marry. Or he can sit beside the wife he has spent four years starving of a chair. A Scottish historical marriage-in-crisis romance about inheritance, land, and the woman who did the accounting.
