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? Content Warning: This book contains high steam and cursing.
