Title: The Christmas Rose
Description: "Standing on London's Royal Victoria Dock with the wind biting through her shawl, Rose Munday realises she's been abandoned by her sweetheart ... Rose had risked everything to get to London but, stumbling through the peasoup fog, she has nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Scared and alone, Rose steps straight into danger, only to be rescued by two women with even less to their names - a woman of the night and her young sidekick, Sparrow. Left with only a cluster of love letters and all hope of her sweetheart's return fading, Rose finds herself forging a new life with her unlikely companions. But when a good deed turns sour, a dangerous enemy threatens to ruin them all. Will Rose be able to save her new friends and her future? If she can, a Christmas gift awaits that will change her life forever ..."--Publisher's description.
