PROMISES LOST

Set in the Liverpool Audrey Howard knows so well, "Promises Lost" is an unforgettable story of a gentle love that overcomes obstacles so great that only the most steadfast devotion could hope to defy them.

Jack Andrews comes into the Hamilton sisters' lives as a hero: the rescuer who saves Sara from a terrifying attacker and nearly pays for his bravery with his life. Sara, nursing him back to health, soon falls in love with the sofa-spoken railway builder sho seems to see past the young girl's genteel manner to the passionate woman she will become.

But her ambitious sister Alice hopes to marry into the gentry, and fears that Sara's liaison with a navvy such as Jack will drag them both down. She takes Sara off to Liverpool, out of Jack's reach, and soon the two sister have employed their dressmaking skills to bring them security.

Meanwhile Jack Andrews has made himself one of the most successful of the new breed of railway engineers. It is inevitable that one day he will come to the great port of Liverpool - and that Sara's life will be turned upside down.

THE SHADOWED HILLS

...set high in the Pennines, is the story of an untamed girl who brings heartache and tragedy to all those she loves.

Katy Andrews has never been thwarted or curbed by her gentle mother of her indulgent father. Born to assured wealth and position, she moves freely between the gentry and her father's relations, still poor cottagers in the High Peak.

Katy sets her cap at the handsome young farmer Jamie Hutchinson. But James does not love her; instead, he falls for Kathy's despised, gentle cousin.

Driven half-mad with grief, Katy turns to the most dangerous man she could possibly find: her loutish lower-class cousin Paddy Andrews. Only in the arms of brutal Paddy can Katy find relief from the demons - demons which threaten to bring the whole family down with her.
