Just Beyond Tomorrow

After his father's death, Patrick Leslie, Duke of Glenkirk, finds that the estate and the people who depend on it rest entirely on his shoulders. His mother has gone to France, leaving him to manage matters on his own. Out hunting one day, he meets a woman who changes his plans. To gain a deserted castle and the land bordering his own, he must accept a bride as part of the bargain. She is Flanna Brodie, heiress to Brae, a free-spirited woman who wants no husband and prizes only her independence. Her loyalty to the exiled Stuart cause, and her plan to see Charles II restored to the throne against her husband's wishes, put them both in danger. Patrick understands how the Stuarts have brought misfortune to his family before. He and Flanna must decide whether to guard their pride or follow a love neither of them wants to admit.
