Rosa’s Island
Taken in as a small child by the motherly Mrs Drew, orphan Rosa realizes as she grows up that this large and seemingly close family contains many troubled souls. Mr Drew’s religious fervor holds a dark secret; Jim, the eldest son, is terrified of something from his past; Delia longs to escape from the island and tall, handsome Matthew wants only one thing – Rosa herself. Rosa’s background is one of mystery, but Mr Drew knows the secret of Rosa’s past – and so do the two mysterious Irishmen who come back to the island after many years to threaten everything Rosa holds dear…
The Maid’s Secret
Ellen has worked as a servant girl since she was twelve – her mother had always taught her that she must earn her own keep until she finds someone to marry.
After a year of back-breaking work, a chance encounter leads her to a new position as kitchen maid at Hart Holme Manor – the grandest estate around for miles.
There, against the wishes of the household, she befriends the owners’ son, Christopher. If the true nature of their closeness were ever revealed it could not only jeopardise both Christopher and Ellen’s positions, but carry consequences that could affect the rest of their lives.
