76 Silver Street Anna Shenton

76 Silver Street - A Historical Romance: Set in the suburbs of Manchester: A gritty, scandalous story of courage, passion, love, loss, lies and sexual desire. Imagine, how it feels, to be dumped on your aunt's doorstep by your mother. Your aunt takes you in as if her own; goes without herself, to keep you warm and safe. Nineteen years later, in the suburbs of Manchester 1905, you become house keeper, in the next town, for a handsome young man in hope of finding true love; but find yourself being subjected to his, and his mate's drunken, coercive behaviour. Then one day, your aunt calls for help from her hospital-bed, to take over her rundown boarding house before it goes bust. Such is the plight of Rosa Brown. She owes it to her aunt to help in her hour of need and sneaks off out of town, escaping the sordid life she lives, without a word to anyone. Met by Jack Howard on arrival, in Pembertown, Rosa's heart plummets when her eyes meet with the dingy filthy place, and Jack's devilish manner, who thinks she's mad and has no intention of helping to get the place up and running before it goes bust. Rosa is shocked when faced with all the ruffians and commoners knocking on the door and struggles to keep the roguish, rampant Jack Howard's hands off her. Sprucing the place up and filling it with respectful paying guests, proves harder than expected. Now, filled with fear for her aunt, and her own wellbeing, will Rosa ever find the love of her life and be free from trouble?
