Ragamuffin Angel: Old feuds threaten the happiness of one young couple
About this ebook
'An enjoyable historical read . . . Very readable, with good dialogue and well-drawn characters' Ipswich Evening Star
A young couple . . . and the dark and terrible history between their families that threatens to destroy them.
Connie Bell, newly orphaned, is just twelve when she's taken on at the laundry in Sunderland's grim workhouse. Although she's little more than a child, the events of her past have forged a driving determination to rise above her beginnings. But when she applies for a job as a nurse Connie's turned down: her mother was forced by poverty to work the streets and the Bell name is tainted.
Bitterly hurt but undaunted, Connie's soon assistant housekeeper at the Grand Hotel and saving hard for her own business. When her path crosses Dan Stewart's, though, everything Connie's ever dreamed of is threatened. There's a dark and terrible history between the Bells and the Stewarts, and Dan's mother Edith will do anything to keep Dan and Connie apart.
