Georgie Deegan will do anything for money. His sister will do anything for love…

When Katie’s bully of a brother takes over the family business, tough times lie ahead in Liverpool Lamplight – a powerful saga of the years before the Second World War, from bestselling author Lyn Andrews. Perfect for fans of Anne Baker, Cathy Sharp and Katie Flynn.

Since they were kids in the backstreets of Liverpool, brother and sister Georgie and Katie Deegan have fought like cat and dog. Now Katie is at Moorehouse’s lemonade factory, whilst Georgie has a good job at the B & A – and when he comes home he puts his feet up. Unlike Katie, who does her turn in their mother Molly’s fish and game shop.

Yet when their father dies suddenly, Georgie assumes the shop is his – and that his chance has come to rule the Deegan roost. Katie has other ideas, as does her strong-minded mother Molly.

But, as World War II draws closer and Georgie’s illegal money-making schemes gain momentum, neither Katie nor her mother has any idea what troubles lie in store for the women whose lives the ruthless Georgie Deegan is set to control at any cost…
