The Stony Places — Tessa Barclay

A gripping family saga of love, riches and inheritance.

Rob Craigallan left Scotland penniless to become one of the richest men in America. But who would inherit the golden acres of Kansas wheat, the shipyards and the mills?

Cornelius, his son and heir is a brilliant scientist but handicapped by deafness. Ellie-Rose has all her father's drive and ambition, but will her husband's rise in politics be enough to keep her interest when a new passion grows to endanger her marriage vows? Gregor, Rob's bastard son, is ignorant of his heritage, but Rob owes a debt he cannot acknowledge to the woman he still adores and grooms the boy as his future successor. Rob has always chosen power over love - will his children make the same mistake?

The Stony Places, the second in The Craigallan Sagas, is perfect for fans of Anna King, Pam Howes and Katie Flynn.
