From grieving widow...
1851, England. After her merchant husband saved her from a life of prostitution, Louisa Hill was briefly happy as a housewife in Bristol. But then a constable arrives at her door. Her husband has been found hanged in a Bath hotel room, a note and a key to a property in Bath she knew nothing about the only things she has left of him.
To a new life as a madam...
Knowing the debt collectors will arrive any moment, Louisa must leave everything she knows behind, and move to Bath. But left with no means of income, Louisa knows she has little choice but to return to but her old way of life. But this time, she'll do it on her own terms - by turning her new home into a brothel for upper class gentleman. And she's determined the horrors she was forced to endure in the past are not experienced by the girls she saves from the streets.
Enlisting the help of Jacob Jackson, a quiet but feared boxer, to watch over the house, Louisa is about to embark on a life she never envisaged. Can she find the courage to forge this new path?
The Widow's Vow is the first in a gripping and gritty Victorian saga series from the bestselling author of The Home Front Nurses, Rachel Brimble.
