In Still and Stormy Waters

Set between 1856 and 1898, this is the story of two women -- rivals for the inheritance of a Scottish castle and the love of one man. The action takes place on both sides of the world, from eventful, bustling Hong Kong to the misty, mysterious Highlands of Scotland.

Two women, born to different worlds, tied unknowingly by blood -- and locked in bitter rivalry for the Highland estate, and the man they both lay claim to... Sophie -- wilful, entrancing toast of exotic Hong Kong blissfully immune to the deceitful deals, clash of cultures, and growing menace of the opium trade that threaten her beloved city. Rachel -- subtle and stubborn, plucked from the slums of Victorian London to a new life and status in the remote Scottish castle of Juran -- then faced with the loss of what has become her obsession.
