The first volume in the enthralling Corvill Weaving saga Scotland, the mid nineteeth century. Weaving is booming, tartan all the rage, and young Jenny Corvill is determined that her father's firm should receive Queen Victoria's royal seal of approval. Jenny may be fearless, but to somehow manage her way into Balmoral and engineer a meeting with the Queen could be beyond her ? even without the handsome equerry, Captain Bobby Prentiss, standing in her way . . .

From Booklist
In Victorian England, tartan is the new black. When Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert embrace all things Scottish--including the country's traditional plaid fabric--her majesty's subjects quickly follow suit. Therefore, Jenny Corvill knows that the key to the success of her family's Scottish weaving business lies in getting Victoria and Albert's stamp of approval on their tartan designs. Through a combination of luck and stubbornness, Jenny gets her audience with Prince Albert, and once word gets out that Corvill and Sons is manufacturing tartan cloth for the royal family, business grows by leaps and bounds. Jenny soon becomes the de facto head of the company, but even as her dreams of a thriving family business come true, one thing still eludes her grasp: romance. Readers who enjoy captivating stories of women who conquer the business world, much like Emma Harte did in Barbara Taylor Bradford's Woman of Substance (1984), will devour this fascinatingly detailed historical novel.
