Beware of dark, handsome strangers...

About the Author:
'It's the most notorious pub in Stockport'
Ada Hargreaves is a tough woman, which is just as well – she's needed to be. Born in the Portswood slums, she and her husband have worked hard to raise their own family in better conditions. When they take over the local pub, their ambitions seem realised – but not for long...
As World War Two looms, a stranger comes to the door. He's the estranged brother of the barman. Although Ada senses that the newcomer is no replacement for the reliable Doug, labour is hard to find, and, fatally, she doesn't heed her instincts. It's a dangerous mistake. For Ada, for her daughters, and for the family that comes to seek refuge with them. Only one thing's for sure: it will give Stockport a scandal to last for years.
'Dramatic, witty, heartbreaking and heartwarming, 'The Sixpenny Winner' is the best yet from Alexandra Connor.'
