Dora Preston can stand up for herself, but when she impulsively stops some young louts from torturing a puppy, she bites off more than she can chew. Luckily, a good-looking stranger rescues her. But though attracted to him, Dora's first desire is to find success on the music hall stage. Gideon, recently discharged from the Army, has arrived in Hedderby only to discover another man has stolen his name and inheritance. Would it be fair to court Dora when he can offer her so little? Despite his anger he patiently bides his time, working in the markets, until he can reclaim what is his. With the town's orphanage vandalised, the music hall not yet rebuilt, and the impostor prepared to kill to keep what he has stolen, trouble is brewing on several fronts. Gideon and Dora's lives are threatened. And even if they survive, how will they find a future together?

Praise for Anna Jacobs: 'Catherine Cookson fans will cheer!' -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around.' -- Historical Novels Review 'Once again you have given us a story that has me hooked from the first page to the last. The characters are so alive that I am loath to call them characters, they are people -- so real' -- Reader from Scotland on OUR MARY ANN 'An exciting book of immensely brilliant character portrayal and a great storyline' -- Bangor Chronicle on OUR EVA 'Another cracking read with a vivid insight into family relationships' -- Coventry Evening Telegraph on OUR EVA
Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia a while ago, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She has two grown-up daughters and lives with her husband in a spacious waterfront home. Often, as she writes, dolphins frolic outside the window of her office. Inside, the house is crammed with thousands of books.
