The Harbour GirlScarborough, 1880
Jeannie spends her days watching the harbour girls - mending nets, gutting herring - and waiting for Ethan Wharton to come in on his father's fishing smack. Jeannie had always expected to marry the loyal and dependable Ethan. But then she meets Harry, a stranger who has come to visit from Hull for the day, and she falls for him.
When Jeannie becomes pregnant and Harry breaks his promise to come back for her, she finds herself isolated. She and her child move to Hull where her life is touched by illness, tragedy and poverty. She longs for the simpler times of her past, and wonders if she will ever find someone who will truly love her - and if Ethan will ever forgive her.
The Innkeeper's DaughterLife isn't turning out quite as hoped for thirteen-year-old Bella.
She lives at the Woodman Inn - an ancient hostelry run by her family in the Yorkshire countryside - surrounded by her unreliable siblings. When Bella learns not only that her father is seriously ill, but that her mother is expecting a fifth child, her dreams of becoming a schoolteacher are quickly dashed.
Times are hard, and when their father dies Bella must also take on responsibility for her baby brother. Her days are brightened by the occasional visit from Jamie Lucan - the son of a wealthy landowner in a neighbouring coastal village. But then her mother announces that she wants to move the family to Hull.
Could things get any worse? Or could this move turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Bella?

Noah's desire to marry her - and realises that the only person she finds real companionship with is the person she can't possibly be with ...
