Description
A sweeping historical saga of love, betrayal, and the price of chasing dreams. From the slums of Bethnal Green to the bright lights of the West End, one woman must choose between ambition and the love of her life.
Helen Jarvis longs to escape the slums of London's Bethnal Green and reinvent herself on the glittering stage. Her plan is simple: marry into aristocracy, become a lady, and lift her beloved sister Etty out of poverty.
Starting out as a server at Swain's Music Hall, Helen quickly works her way up to the footlights of the London stage. But everything changes when she meets Jack Waters -- charming, kind, and impossible not to love.
For the first time, Helen dares to imagine a future shaped not by ambition, but by love.
Yet Helen's hunger for security threatens to destroy the happiness she has found. When she marries the wealthy Rudolph Swithin, she convinces herself she has chosen wisely. But as years pass, her heart continues to reach back to the man she left behind.
Will Helen and Jack find their way back to one another, or have the choices they made doomed their love forever?
Set against the backdrop of late Victorian London, this moving and glittering saga is perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Dilly Court, Rosie Clarke, Tania Crosse and Kitty Neale.
