A Husband in Name Only

Agnes Drummond married Callum Brodie to save her father from debtor's ruin. She expected cold civility. A roof. A name. She did not expect the portrait of his first wife in the hall, or the housekeeper who mourns her still, or the sister-in-law who arrives each month to remind Agnes she is a replacement for a woman the village has not finished grieving.
She did not expect, either, that she might one day want him to look at her the way he looks at nothing.
A marriage of necessity. A house full of ghosts. And two people too proud to admit they are already lost.
