    About this ebook

    The darkest sins cast the longest shadows.

    County Mayo, Ireland, 1947.

    In the worst winter in living memory, Ruby Flynn is rescued from the tiny cottage on the Atlantic coast where her family has perished. She is one of the storm orphans, taken in by nuns to be educated for a life in service. Now she must find her own way in the outside world.

    The FitzDeane family have a thriving shipping business in Liverpool and they also own beautiful Ballyford Castle in Mayo. When Ruby is appointed as their nursery maid, a dangerous attraction to the young Lord FitzDeane begins to grow. Soon the tragedies and secrets that link her family to his will threaten to overwhelm them.

    The darkest sins cast the longest shadows.

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of

      A different genre from the books I usually, but a most welcome one.
      Ruby, a young orphaned girl from a convent is trained by the nuns for a life in service.
      She is taken on at Ballyford Castle as a ladies maid to a frail Lady Isobel, but eventually rumours about her past spread. How did she get here?
      It is also the story of the FitzDeanes who own the Castle. More especially Charles whose business took him to Liverpool, his other life there and his possible bankruptcy.
      It is also a story of hope and redemption.
      I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
