Brought to you by Penguin.

Lose yourself in this captivating and heart-wrenching saga from much loved author Jess Foley, written in the bestselling tradition of Josephine Cox, Catherine Cookson and Dilly Court. You will not want to put it down...


HOW HIGH A PRICE MUST SHE PAY TO KEEP HER FAMILY SAFE?

Grace Harper's world falls apart when she is orphaned and she and her little brother Billy are left homeless and alone. Putting her grief and fear aside, she must think practically.

When she finds a job as companion to the wealthy, lonely Mrs Spencer, she and Billy are relieved to have a roof over their heads again, but just as Grace starts to find her feet disaster strikes again.

Things look desperate, and when she is offered marriage and a good life for herself and Billy, Grace is tempted.

But is her suitor to be trusted? Or is she, desperate in her search for safety for her little family, flying too close to the sun?
