Plot Summary of Emily and the Scot
"After her older brother goes mad with desire to inheirit their father's title and attempts to kill their older half-brother so that he can, Emily's family is destroyed by scandal. Unable to take any more of the whispers and stares, Emily leaves London to visit her half-brother and his new wife in Scotland.
