The Posy Ring
When antique dealer Daisy Graham inherits an ancient house on the Scottish island of Garve, she's daunted by its size and isolation. But the building, its jumble of contents, the wilderness of a garden and the island itself prove so enchanting that she's soon captivated. She's also charmed by Cal Galbraith, who is showing a professional and personal interest in the house and its new owner, but she's suspicious of his motives - with good reason, it seems. In parallel with their story runs that of sixteenth-century cousins, Mateo and Francisco, survivors from the ill-fated Spanish Armada, who find safe passage to the island. There, Mateo falls in love with Lilias, the laird's daughter, but as a stranger in a strange land, he knows that a happy ending is by no means certain. The golden engraved posy (poesy) ring he gives her is found centuries later. Are its haunting mottoes, un temps viendra and vous et nul autre, significant for Daisy and Cal? The Posy Ring is a companion novel to The Curiosity Cabinet, a new story set on the same magical Hebridean island of Garve, with some of the same contemporary characters.
