Although Isabella's family never had much money in the dockyards, that never stopped her from feeling like a star. That is until a shipping accident kills her father, and illness takes her mother, leaving her alone to fend not only herself but her two younger sisters as well, in the cruel slums of Liverpool.Working tirelessly to feed her sisters, redemption seemingly comes when an old family friend introduces her to a handsome young man - who must marry to come into his inheritance - Mr Daniel Kimble. The two of them agree in business-like fashion that marrying would be beneficial to both of them. A marriage of convenience.Though it seemed Isabella's troubles were over, they were far from it. Before she had to worry about surviving the harsh slums, now she must survive the cut-throat world of the upper-class, and Daniel's mother seems to be coming for her. Will she be able to impress her mother-in-law, and will this marriage of convenience grow into something more?Rachel Downing and Dolly Price write wholesome historical romance.
