This is the story of one of the triplet daughters of Lord and Lady Ashby-Margeaux. She wants to live in Scotland, become a spinster, or enter a convent. Her parents are opposed but willing to give her a chance in Scotland.
Dr. Craig, now Lord Craig, found himself in a position he never anticipated when his brother and family died suddenly. Despite his initial unhappiness, he accepts the reality and understands that he needs much support to succeed in his new role. He also decides to take three children under his wing, realizing they need a mother or a governess figure.
The problems are compounded when the vicar and his wife insult Lord Craig in his home about his family's role in hiring locals to make Scotch whiskey and supporting young, unwed mothers to learn marketable skills.
I thought this book dragged at points. However, the characters and storyline were interesting.
