An emotional historical saga from the bestselling author of the Weaver Street series, Chrissie Walsh â¤ï¸ Must-read for fans of Rosie Clarke and Fenella J. Miller! West Yorkshire 1897 A new mistress for Lockwood Mill. Verity Lockwood despises life at Far View House, where her father and mill owner, Jebediah Lockwood, drowns his fortuneâand his witsâin drink. With debts mounting, whispers spread - how much longer can Lockwoodâs Mill survive? The dark and dirty mills of Yorkshire are no place for a gently bred young woman, but when Verity learns that her fatherâs ruin threatens not only her home but the livelihoods of the workers who depend on it, she refuses to stand idly by. Oliver Hardcastle, the millâs stern and steady manager, is doubtful of Miss Lockwoodâs sudden involvement. Sheâs quiet and unassuming, yet behind her demure exterior lies a sharp mind, and as Verity challenges tradition with her bold ideas, she soon earns the respect of the other workers â especially the mill girls â and the reluctant admiration of Oliver himself. But as their partnership deepens into something more, powerful men begin to take notice. Other mill owners scoff at Verityâs reforms, seeing her as a threat to the order they seek to maintain. And when enemies close in, Verity and Oliver must stand togetherânot only to save the mill, but to fight for a love neither of them expected. A gripping new historical saga series perfect for fans of AnneMarie Brear, Katie Flynn and Pam Howes. Readers love Chrissie Walsh: 'Full of joy, sorrow and a big pinch of fun.
