Overview

Finding the girl of his dreams should have been a blessing. But people were watching ... prepared to do anything to keep them apart.

If only they'd considered the unintended consequences...

Farm labourer Charles Jackson doesn't expect much from life. For the price of a few pints of ale and enough food on the table, he's happy to take work where he can get it. But when he finds himself at Chadwick's farm, all that changes...

Falling in love with the farmer's daughter wasn't part of his plans. But when they're found in an intimate embrace, his troubles are only just beginning...

About the Author

Born and raised in Liverpool (UK), VL McBeath trained as a scientist and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for many years. It was only when she was researching her family history that the idea for The Ambition & Destiny Series was born. In those early days, she had no idea what she would find or where it would lead. A couple of years later, however, she felt compelled to turn the unfolding story into a novel. She now lives in Cheshire with her husband, youngest daughter, and cat. In addition to family history, her interests include rock music and Premier League Football.
