Cristi is left an unexpected legacy by her late grandfather. She has had no contact with her mother's family since leaving Brazil as a child; they are strangers who have remained silent, hostile and inaccessible. In the light of this, coming into a startling sum of money as well as a cattle ranch is not only confusing, but merits a visit to Brazil. This means leaving her beloved Drumveyn and Dougal. And when Dougal learns that Cristi is an heiress he feels that the gulf between them has become far too wide to cross. During her Brazilian interlude, Cristi is very attracted to her handsome cousin, Luis, until she discovers he's only after her money. So she returns to Drumveyn to persuade Dougal that they have a future together. The seventh book in a series of novels set in Perthshire.

In helping others achieve happiness, will she find hers at last? Even four months after Sir Charles Napier's death, his widow, Madeleine, is finding it hard to free herself from his lingering domination. She still maintains the oppressive lifestyle he had ordained, which had finally driven her children from their large and remote Scottish home. Then Madeleine becomes aware of people who need her: her betrayed daughter Lisa; her son, Archie, with his plans for the estate and the problems of his foundering marriage; a friend at a crossroads in her life; an abandoned child and an unwanted baby. In meeting these challenges Madeleine discovers self-confidence and independence, and a new beginning at the heart of a wider, happier family in a transformed Drumveyn. *********** Readers are loving DRUMVEYN!
