A bookish dreamer...
Hazel Taylor longs to leave behind the painful memories of her country home. When an opportunity arises to work in Victorian Manchester as a librarian while providing a chance to finish writing her children's book, she takes the leap of faith and goes -- much to the dismay of her sisters. But can she ever travel far enough to outrun the traumatic past that haunts her?
A determined rogue...
Jonathan Travers hates his job. As a debt collector for a notorious gang leader, he's ready to leave that life behind. But his plan of transforming an old building into a safe haven for the poor people of Devil's Haven is taking longer than expected. And he's starting to wonder if he'll ever be able to break free -- until a little blonde librarian shows up in the rookery.
Will her faith in him be the catalyst he needs to believe in himself or will her own demons destroy them both?
