A Reconstructed Marriage

A velvet-bound Bible reveals what Robert Campbell has hidden: an engagement to Theodora, an Englishwoman his mother will never accept. Mrs. Traquair Campbell has ordained otherwise. Her choice for her son is Jane Dalkeith, a woman of suitable lineage and impeccable connections. Now the Campbell household, that sturdy fortress of Scottish propriety, must reckon with a truth that threatens to dismantle everything its matriarch has built. As family loyalty collides with individual desire, Barr crafts a drama where every gesture of obedience carries the weight of a life unlived. Theodora's arrival looms. The question is not whether Robert will choose, but whether he can live with the consequences.
