The heating was on full blast in the car as they headed back towards Duntarvie House. Maddy had loved Kilmannan as much as Kate herself had on her first visit, but Leo had seemed remarkably unmoved. He hadn’t even budged when she’d taken them the scenic route across the highest point of the island, parking in a layby to allow them to marvel at the views of Eilean Mòr, the huge island that lay to the west of Auchenmor.

She breathed a sigh of relief as they turned down the driveway towards the big house. ‘Must be hard keeping up the gardens in a place like this?’ Leo’s question was perfectly innocent, but Kate felt herself flushing as they drove along. The enormous rhododendron bushes sprinkled with snow suddenly looked unkempt and disorderly and she found herself slowing down, trying to find the smoothest route through the remaining potholes.
