What to expect
The start of a brand-new Merseyside series from Sheila Riley, bestselling author of the Reckoner's Row saga series - not to be missed!
Beamer Street in the heart of Liverpool's docklands is a tough place to live - you need good friends to survive...
Liverpool 1921
Pregnant, Mary Jane Starlings secret wedding to Paddy Redfern ends in disaster when her fiancé is murdered on the way to the church. Paddy’s wayward twin ‘Red’ intercepts Mary Jane and warns that they must flee Ireland for fear of reprisals from her family, never to return.
Too young and terrified to question Red’s motives, Mary Jane, is hurriedly escorted to Liverpool where she quickly discovers Red’s good Samaritan act is a sham when he abandons her homeless and destitute.
Strength, fortitude and a measure of good luck save her from the streets when she catches the eye of reclusive Cal Everdine and is befriended by Molly Hayward’s lovable family.
But Mary Jane still has to live with the overbearing guilt of the secrets she holds.
Will she ever be able to follow her dreams and reconcile her past?
A brand-new series, set around the rough and tough Liverpool Docks, by bestselling author Sheila Riley.
Perfect for fans of Chrissie Walsh, Katie Flynn and Dilly Court.
