Walk on the Wildsyde

About the book

The luck of Hamilton Anderson is truly remarkable, as many in Scotland would attest. His success in managing his father's herring boat business and later venturing into exporting whisky and wool has earned him a reputation for turning everything he touches into gold. Despite his achievements, the meddling Reverend Robert Halliday seems determined to thwart Hamilton's endeavors.

On the other hand, Miss Clara Halliday prides herself on her strong will and resilience, especially when subjected to her father's stern sermons. Moving to Wick with her father introduces her to a new world, where she unexpectedly finds herself drawn to the man her father condemns. Despite her attraction, Clara is determined to keep her feelings in check.

Hamilton, for his part, finds himself captivated by Clara's spirited nature, even as he faces opposition from her father's attempts to sabotage his business with a temperance movement. As tensions rise, Hamilton realizes that winning Clara's trust may be the most challenging endeavor he's faced yet.
