The Indigo Heiress

Bol

To settle her family's debts and secure a suitable marriage for her sister, a colonial American indigo heiress is forced to wed a Scottish merchant she loathes. Leaving all she's ever known, she sails to Scotland to enter the complex world of the powerful Buchanan clan who are anything but what they seem. Virginia plantation life is all she has ever known. But could the life she was meant to live be waiting on a distant shore? In 1774, Juliet Catesby lives with her father and sister at Royal Vale, the James River plantation founded by her Virginia family over a century before. Indigo cultivation is her foremost concern, though its export tethers her family to the powerful Buchanan clan of Glasgow, Scotland. When the heir of the Buchanan firm arrives on their shores, Juliet discovers that her father has arranged for one of his daughters to marry the Scot as a means of canceling the family's crippling debt. Confident it will be her younger, lovelier sister, Juliet is appalled when Leith Buchanan selects her instead. Despite her initial refusal, Juliet realizes that fleeing Virginia is her only choice after finding herself in the midst of a scandal. The ship just leaving the harbor for Glasgow is her only hope. But she will soon realize that being part of the complex and calculating Buchanan clan is not the sanctuary she imagined--and the man who saved her from ruin is the very one she must now save in return.
