Synopsis

GET TWO INCREDIBLE TALES IN ONE!! Follow the stories of Isabella and Ada as they overcome all odds and find love.

BOOK 1 - THE ORPHAN STAR OF THE DOCKYARD

Although Isabella’s family never had much money in the dockyards, that never stopped her from feeling like a star. That is until a shipping accident kills her father, and illness takes her mother, leaving her alone to fend not only herself but her two younger sisters as well, in the cruel slums of Liverpool.

Working tirelessly to feed her sisters, redemption seemingly comes when an old family friend introduces her to a handsome young man - who must marry to come into his inheritance - Mr Daniel Kimble. The two of them agree in business-like fashion that marrying would be beneficial to both of them. A marriage of convenience.

Though it seemed Isabella’s troubles were over, they were far from it. Before she had to worry about surviving the harsh slums, now she must survive the cut-throat world of the upper-class, and Daniel’s mother seems to be coming for her. Will she be able to impress her mother-in-law, and will this marriage of convenience grow into something more?

BOOK 2 - THE ORPHAN DAUGHTER'S DILEMMA

Adeline ‘Ada’ Thompson couldn’t be more happy living with her father on their farm, looking after the animals, and reading any books that she can get her hands on, but she still misses the mother she never got to know. But when a strange disease starts to afflict the livestock, and even her own father, it seems Ada will lose everything she loves.

Being whisked away from her simple life as a farm girl in the countryside, Ada must now face the hustle and bustle (and smell) of London, a city bigger than any she’s ever seen before. On top of that, she must wrestle with the drama that entails in the house of an aristocrat, a world completely alien to her.

Though the man of the house seems kindhearted and handsome, a house this big always holds secrets, and some of them darker than others. Will Ada be able to find her place whilst making her way through the web that is city life?

Rachel Downing writes wholesome historical romance. If you enjoy books by Dilly Court and other Victorian Romance writers, you will love these heartfelt tales.
