About this ebook
Mina always follows the rules. Ever since she came to the Duke Street orphanage as a frightened girl, the rules have given her safety and purpose in a world of uncertainty. But when her first placement ends in disgrace, Mina learns that there are different rules for different people-especially maids of all work.
Dismissed, alone and ashamed, she turns to the unlikeliest of saviours: Enzo, the scruffy haired boy who once shared her games within the orphanage walls. The boy who broke her heart when he fled those same walls, leaving her behind.
At 14, Enzo escaped Duke Street. He embraced a life of thievery and rough justice, preferring to live life on his own terms instead of chasing a well-turned heel. He has only one regret—that he left behind the girl with the blonde plaits and the shy smile, a girl he still looks for on busy street corners. And like magic, there she is, in the dank depths of the rookery and asking for his help.
A tale of resilience and romance set against the harsh backdrop of 1852 London, rich with the grit of working-class life and fleeting moments of beauty, I will Steal you the Stars is a historical romance of hardship, hope, tough choices and the power of a dream.
Because even in the poorest chapters of history, every heart deserves a happy ending.
