This thrilling second installment in the Christies series features a fiery Scottish factory girl and a handsome widower on a mission he must not fail...
Esteemed astronomer Alex Christie has never possessed his late father's ruthless business drive. But to protect his frail infant son from his cruel father-in-law's bid for custody, the young widower must undertake Sir William Christie's posthumous million-dollar challenge: to make a Glasgow cotton mill profitable.
Because a sympathetic mill master would aid her cause, feisty union leader Polly Gowan becomes Alex's guide to urban Scotland. From soccer games to pub brawls, Polly reveals another side of life to the steadfast academic. Alex feels free for the first time to reveal the man—vital and strong—behind his intellectual exterior, leaving Polly utterly seduced.
Their ambitions, however, remain at odds: Alex vows to earn the mill bonus to save his child, while Polly fights for the needs of her people. Is there strength enough in their sparkling passion to bind them in their quests—and in a lasting love that conquers all?
"Richly nuanced characters and a superbly realized Scottish Victorian setting come together brilliantly." — The Chicago Tribune
