Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Glasgow, 1928. Margaret Bannatyne lost both of her brothers in the Great War and is now the last remaining child of wealthy and powerful shipyard owner William Bannatyne. Without a male heir to carry on the family business, William expects his daughter to do her duty, marry well and provide him with a grandson to inherit his business.
Margaret cares deeply for her father but she has ambitions of her own: after witnessing a horrific accident when she was sixteen, she's determined to become a doctor. Her father, convinced she will never practise medicine, permits Margaret to complete her training. But he doesn't count on her falling in love with Alasdair Morrison.
Alasdair, a union man at the shipyard, has been a thorn in William's side for years, and he didn't become one of the richest men in Glasgow only for Alasdair to take it all away - even if it means destroying his only daughter's happiness by forcing her to make a heartbreaking and impossible choice . . .
"Will she choose love or obligation?" --Cover.
Glasgow, 1928. Margaret Bannatyne lost both of her brothers in the Great War and is now the last remaining child of wealthy and powerful shipyard owner William Bannatyne. Without a male heir to carry on the family business, William expects his daughter to do her duty, marry well and provide him with a grandson to inherit his business. Margaret loves her father but she has ambitions of her own: after witnessing a horrific accident when she was sixteen, she's determined to become a doctor. Indulged by her father who believes a woman will never be allowed to work as a doctor, he lets Margaret finish her training but he doesn't count on her meeting Alisdair Morrison. Alisdair, a union man at the shipyard, is everything William doesn't want for his daughter. Margaret knows her father will disown her if she pursues a relationship with Alisdair but she can't deny her feelings for him. Suddenly she's faced with an impossible, heart-breaking choice... will she choose love or obligation?
