'Another magical Lancashire saga that will delight fans and newcomers alike'

'Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around'

Marjorie Preston dreams of a life on the stage but believes she will never get the chance. When handsome singer Denby Sinclair needs a new assistant at short notice he takes her on and it seems as if her dreams will come true, especially when he proposes marriage. But Denby, unbeknownst to her, has a secret that will destroy all her hopes for her new life as a performer and her own personal happiness.

Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia a while ago, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She has two grown-up daughters and lives with her husband in a spacious waterfront home. Often, as she writes, dolphins frolic outside the window of her office. Inside, the house is crammed with thousands of books.
