Publisher's Synopsis
1720: political intrigue besets the kingdom as the Stuarts try to claim the throne occupied by the Hanoverians. Jemmy Morland, sole heir to his father's will, has no option but to marry the cold-hearted Lady Mary in order to secure Hanoverian protection and safeguard his inheritance. Then the rebellion of '45 and the bloody massacre of Culloden thrust his daughter into the spotlight as the saviour of the family. Intelligent, single-minded and a rare beauty, Jemima is a capable caretaker of the Morland heritage, her courage earning her an abiding love and loyalty.
