Destitute. Quinta Haig is struggling to make ends meet at Top Field with her ailing mother, Laura. Their small Yorkshire farm is run-down and isolated and when the only way to take their goods to market is lost, Quinta is prepared to sacrifice almost anything for both of them to survive. Desired. Noah Bilton, a wealthy neighbor, has designs on Top Field as well as ideas for the future of Laura and her daughter. He offers an uneasy solution to keep them out of the workhouse, but Laura Haig will have nothing to do with it, or him. When strangers appear at Top Field looking for shelter, Quinta's hopes are renewed—but Noah is resolved to take what he wants by fair means or foul. Deserted. Quinta finds love against all odds, but is deserted when she is at her most vulnerable. The hardships that follow give her a steely determination to seek retribution from the man who has wronged her—but can revenge ever bring back her happiness?

About the Author:

Catherine King was born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. A search for her roots—her father, grandfather and great-grandfather all worked with coal, steel, or iron—and an interest in local industrial history provide inspiration for her stories.
