Publisher's Synopsis
Plucky Lucy Linden is the mainstay of her family, selling firewood and toffee apples on the streets of Liverpool to support her widowed mother and little brother. Her uncanny ability to be in the right place at the wrong time gets her noticed by upright, young police constable Rob Jones, who decides to keep a watchful eye over her - much to her annoyance.
But when Lucy's uncle returns from the Great War with a tendency to lash out, her attitude towards Rob changes. For while she must appear strong for her family's sake, Rob turns out to be someone she can trust with her innermost secrets and fears. But there's one secret she can't quite bring herself to tell him . . .
