For the Love of Francesca

 

Available on Kindle in 2020

Frances Campbell – Eddie’s daughter – is a research fellow at Cambridge University. Her discovery in the most lucrative field of drug research, is worth half a trillion dollars to the pharmaceutical industry – most notable Clausura, a failing Swiss company.

When Frances’ boss and his family are killed in a car crash, and the Campbell family find themselves the focus of a sinister plot to steal her research. Her daughter, Francesca, is abducted and only one man can save her – the illicit lover of Frances’ beautiful and rich stepmother, Eilidh.

The battle to save little Francesca intensifies in the remote reaches of Knoydart and Coruisk on the Isle of Skye, with a final climax at one of the finest holy sanctuaries in England. This story is as much about Eilidh and her quest to find true love after a broken heart, as it is about keeping a family together. She’s spoilt for choice – Greg the Bull, a violent, male model pinup; the alarmingly handsome and charismatic Boss Man, or her current lover. Will you hate Eilidh, or will you love her?

A little taster

He sat there in the fading light, in the remote vastness of Knoydart.

Outside, a storm raged in the boiling seas of Inverie Bay. Inside, his heart waged a war against his soul, a violent struggle fuelled by the bitter taste of betrayal.

What was happening? Eilidh must have known he was in earshot and would hear her cruel words. She didn’t even refer to him by name.

He was trying desperately to save the Campbell family, now knowing that it would end up with the sacrifice of his own life. Last week she had declared her love to him, ‘I always will.’ Now she couldn’t care less about him and had got into bed with the enemy.

Had he been a fool?
