Book Description: Nan and Heath Duncan, siblings abandoned by their papa and abused by their guardian, have no choice but to survive on the London streets. When a kind gentleman rescues Nan from such a life, the siblings are separated and raised in two vastly different social worlds. Just when both are beginning to flourish and years have healed some of their wounds, their long-awaited papa returns and reunites them―bringing demands with him. Nan is expected to marry a rich suitor she's never liked, and Heath is expected to forsake his gentle spirit and become the hardened man his father always was.My Thoughts: A new to me author. And a grand story!
This story reminds me of a gothic romance. It's set in the streets of London in days gone by.
Poor Nan and Heath have been abandoned by their father and their guardian was nothing short of an abuser to both. Trying to survive on the streets where Nan is rescued by a kind gentleman rescues Nan and Heath is left on the streets. Raised in two different social worlds the siblings seem to have little in common.
Then their father decides to "rescue" them. Only it's not a good things.
Nan does not want to marry some old rich man and poor Heath is trying very hard not to be the hardened man his father has become.
The characters were portrayed so well. Almost like reading about a family member.
An enlightening story about staying true to what you believe.
