Set in Scotland in the early twentieth century, Spylaw follows the life of Beanie, the daughter of a tenant farmer in the Scottish borders. She faces personal tragedies whilst being courted by Alasdair, the son of a neighbouring wealthy land owner. His Elizabethan mansion, Spylaw, is haunted by memories of Mary, Queen of Scots, who centuries before used the estate as a refuge for herself and her lover, Lord Bothwell.
Alasdair is all that Beanie could ask for, handsome and affluent, but she can't forget her first love, Ronan. He, however, faces battles of his own in New York, setting up a boxing school. Every step he takes reminds him of walking away from Beanie. Will his love for her see his return to Milldown Farm, or will Alasdair prevail? Spylaw is a poignant tale of love, loss and the resilience of the human heart.
