When World War II brings danger to Manchester, a young woman sent to stay with her criminal uncle must find courage in this saga.

 Jess Delaney has always longed for independence. But when the Blitz reaches Manchester, she is locked in the cellar by her feckless mother, Lizzie. As bombs rain down from a sky turned blood red with flame, Jess waits for Lizzie to return. 

 But fortunes are fickle, and soon Jess finds herself packed off to live with her tyrant Uncle Bernie, a bullying black marketeer. Though he treats her like a servant, she seeks refuge in the Sally Army and her natural musical talent offers both an escape route and the chance for love. 

 But Uncle Bernie never forgives his niece for refusing to join his illegal schemes and threatens to deprive Jess of her hard-won freedom once and for all. 
This is a sweeping saga of hope and resilience perfect for fans of Kitty Neale and Rosie Goodwin.

Ruby McBride

In this Depression-era tale of love and endurance, a young woman must decide how much she’ll sacrifice to protect her family.

 Dolly Tomkins has always known what it is to live hand to mouth. In the mean streets of a Salford struggling under the mantle of the Great Depression, the only one making a decent living is the talleyman. 

 Though Nifty Jack has a money bag where his heart should be, Dolly’s mam is in hock up to her ears and in dire need of assistance. But when Jack offers to wipe the slate clean, Dolly just can’t bring herself to trust him. 

 Instead, she takes him on at his own game and in the process endangers everything she holds most dear as a revelation about the past rocks the very foundations of her world. 
Previously published as Watch for the Talleyman, this saga is perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Kitty Neale.</
