Set in the woolen mills of Halifax in the 1850s, Audrey Howard's enthralling new novel tells the story of a young widow's love for two very different brothers.
Lally Fraser, widowed at twenty, seeks comfort with dashing young millowner Roly Sinclair. But when she finds she is expecting his baby, she turns to his dour brother Harry. Secretly in love with her, Harry offers her marriage.
Roly, though, is anything but pleased. Threatening scandal or worse, he sets out to destroy them both. And when Harry is injured in a vicious attack, Lally must take charge of the mills to protect her children and the man she is growing to love from his worst enemy - his own brother.
