An Island full of secrets . . .

Summer, 1929. Mhairi MacKinnon is in need of a husband. As the eldest girl among nine children, her father has made it clear he cant support her past the coming winter. On the small, Scottish island of St Kilda, her options are limited. But the MacKinnons neighbour, Donald, has a business acquaintance on distant Harris island also in need of a spouse. A plan is hatched for Donald to chaperone Mhairi and make the introduction on his final crossing of the year, before the autumn seas close them off to the outside world.

Mhairi returns as an engaged woman who has lost her heart but not to her fiancé. In love with the wrong man yet knowing he can never be hers, she awaits the spring with growing dread for the onset of calm waters will see her sent from home to become a strangers wife. . .

When word comes that St Kilda is to be evacuated, the lovers are granted a few months reprieve. But will a summer of stolen hours together just lead to more heartbreak . . . ?
