Book Synopsis
Virigina plantation life is all she has ever known.
But could the life she was meant to live be waiting on a distant shore?
In 1774, Juliet Catesby lives with her father and sister at Royal Vale, the James River plantation founded by her Virginia family over a century before. Indigo cultivation is her foremost concern, though its export tethers her family to the powerful Buchanan clan of Glasgow, Scotland.
When the heir of the Buchanan firm arrives on their shores, Juliet discovers that her father has arranged for one of his daughters to marry the Scot as a means of canceling the family's crippling debt. Confident it will be her younger, lovelier sister, Juliet is appalled when Leith Buchanan selects her instead.
Despite her initial refusal, Juliet realizes that fleeing Virginia is her only choice after finding herself in the midst of a scandal. The ship just leaving the harbor for Glasgow is her only hope. But she will soon realize that being part of the complex and calculating Buchanan clan is not the sanctuary she imagined--and the man who saved her from ruin is the very one she must now save in return.

My Review
The Indigo Heiress is a historical romance novel that takes place in 1700s Colonial America and Scotland. This story features one of my favorite romance tropes, a marriage of convenience. From the start, the chemistry between Juliet and Leith is electric, even with their fiery initial encounter. Juliet stands out as a leading character—she is smart, brave, and caring. Throughout the book, my admiration for her never wavered.
This story unfolds as a slow-burn romance. Both Juliet and Leith experience deep emotional journeys that lead to growth and change together. The supporting characters are well-developed too, contributing significantly to the story. This includes Juliet's younger sister, Loveday, and Leith's adorable three-year-old twins.
The story captures such an interesting period, particularly when they leave Virginia just before the American Revolutionary War to journey to Scotland.
Readers will enjoy "The Indigo Heiress" for its heartfelt romance, an intriguing mystery that builds toward the end, and the theme of love as a healing force. This novel is full of vibrant history, faith, and romance.
