About this ebook
In this thrilling saga set in 1950s Manchester, new love and old rivalries cross paths in a sumptuous sweet shop.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone dotes on Aunty Dot, as much as they do on her homemade sweets. The plump, smiling woman has provided a loving home for many a troubled child over the years, and Lizzie Pringle is no exception.
Lizzie would do anything for her foster mother—even take on local sweet manufacturer and notorious bully, Cedric Finch. Until, that is, she falls for his son, Charlie.
Meanwhile, Dena can’t believe that Barry Holmes would hurt her beloved daughter: he’s been like a favorite uncle to the little girl. But rumors are rife, and her fears only grow . . .
Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Rosie Goodwin.
