Walter Scott 
Bride of Lammermoor [EPUB ebook] 

Edgar, the brooding young master of Ravenswood, retains none of his ancestral estates but a crumbling castle. Embittered by the lawsuits that have stripped him of his patrimony and shortened his despairing father’s life, he determines to confront Sir William Ashton, the lawyer whose machinations led to the decline of Ravenswood’s fortunes. But Edgar’s plans take an abrupt turn upon meeting Sir William’s lovely daughter, Lucy, and a romance blossoms against the tumultuous backdrop of the two warring families. (Amazon)
