Watt Family Saga, Book 2

By: Chris Longmuir

Narrated by: Angela Ness

In a World of Betrayal and Danger, Survival Is Her Only Choice.

When an angry mob sets fire to Craigden Inn, Belle’s home and livelihood are reduced to ashes. Forced to flee with her children, she seeks refuge in the nearby town of Invercraig. There, she finds shelter at the Ship Inn, owned by the brooding yet enigmatic Gregor. Determined to start her life anew as an independent woman, Belle soon discovers that escaping the past is not so simple.

Haunted by her sister-in-law Ellen’s relentless vendetta, which places her life in danger, Belle also faces an accusation of arson and the threat of incarceration in the Tollbooth.

When a violent attack by a sailor ends in tragedy, Gregor steps in to protect her, binding them together in a dangerous secret. Desperate to maintain her independence, this pushes her into agreeing to an uneasy marriage of convenience. But nothing can prepare her for the shocking truth—her husband, Jimmie, lost at sea on a doomed whaling voyage, is alive.

Trapped in the Arctic with an Inuit community, Jimmie fights for his survival, unaware that Belle believes him dead. As fate and betrayal weave their tangled web, Belle must navigate a world where love, loyalty, and survival are tested at every turn.

Set against the rugged backdrop of 19th-century Scotland, this gripping historical saga is a tale of passion, suspense, and one woman’s struggle to reclaim her life.

Perfect for fans of epic historical fiction, romantic drama, and female-driven stories of resilience.
