Trouble's brewing and times are changing. If you play with fire you may just get burnt!
London 1929
Torn between the love of his family life in London and a deathbed promise to an American relative, Ben Harper makes a fatal decision that may change the course of many lives.
Honour-bound, Ben remains in New York to investigate who is responsible for the suspected fraud, corruption and the department store's failings. His findings point towards organised crime and shadowy gangsters who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Meanwhile Sally Harper and their children safely return home to oversee the smooth running of the thriving Harpers Emporium. With the help of Beth Burrows, Kitty Wilson, and Ruby Rush, Sally plans for an ever-changing future with the cards she's been dealt.
Will Ben heed the deadly warnings before it's too late or will his honourable promise bring despair to those he loves?
A tale of hope, dreams and survival set against an ever-changing era.
Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Pam Howes and Dilly Court.
