Her employer is as vicious as ever and her violent stepfather is determined to marry her off to a man she hates. However, she has an ally. Seth Talbot, the new local policeman, is determined to bring order to a town where the law has been flouted for years. Little do either of them realise how corrupt so-called respectable people can be and how dangerous when cornered. Anna Jacobs brilliantly recreates life in 1919 in this gripping story of gutsy heroines, wicked men and courageous heroes. |
