If you're born with nothing you have to make your own luck.When
Jared Johnson first meets Clarice Connaught he saves her from the
hands of her father, who is brutally beating her in the street.
Never one to walk past someone in distress, Jared doesn’t
hesitate to help. But who is this girl and what is her story? Jared
Johnson started with nothing. At just twelve-years-old he was
orphaned and homeless, but eight years later, Jared is a success.
Running McGuire’s Rag & Bone Yard and surrounded by friends,
all Jared needs now is to find the perfect girl to settle down
with. Nothing has come easy for Clarice but still she has dreams of
a grander life and the finer things. And if her father isn’t
willing to provide them then Clarice will do anything to find
someone who is. Jared and Clarice have one thing in common – they
are survivors – and in Queen Victoria’s Birmingham you need
your wits about you to keep the wolf from the door. But Clarice
isn’t everything she seems, and like a bad penny that always
shows up, she brings more trouble for Jared and his friends than
they could ever have imagined… Lindsey Hutchinson, the top 10
bestseller, Queen of the Black Country Saga, is back with a
page-turning and heart-warming story perfect fans of Katie Flynn,
Val Wood and Lyn Andrews. What readers are saying about Lindsey
