Annie Macpherson - Sandra Savage - Bog

This is the third book in this historical romance family adventure trilogy concerning Annie, (Pepper then Melville). From her original roots in Ireland Annie has had an eventful and often tumultuous personal and family life in Dundee and, in Annie MacPherson, we see her move to another phase of her life, equally full of problems, intrigue and decisions to make. The year is 1928 and Annie Melville has been happily married for 11 years to Euan MacPherson. They have a 10 year old son, Ian, and a daughter, Lexie, from Annie's first marriage to Alex Melville. Annie's links to the past and Billy Dawson seemed to have weakened with the passing of time, but when Billy's daughter, Nancy, is threatened by her obsessive stepfather, Joe Cassiday, both Billy and Annie are forced together again and have to face the deep emotional response their meeting has aroused, as it surfaces again. Annie has to seek Billy's help too for her own daughter Lexie, who wants to work in the mill as a weaver, like her mother and again, he comes to Annie's rescue, causing waves of guilt to envelope her every time Euan shows his deep love for her. Time and again, fate seems to push Annie and Billy towards one another, each recognizing that the bond between them is still there, despite Billy's wife, Josie, trying to keep them both as far apart as possible. As this moving historical romance develops the lives of Lexie and Nancy, fate has one more hand to deal Annie. A letter arrives from Ireland which disturbs and frightens her and at the christening of Nancy's newborn daughter, things come to a head with Billy Dawson, leaving Annie with a decision to make that could change her life forever.
