Roses For Rebecca
A missing love. An unexpected baby. A huge decision.
Orphaned and homeless, Rebecca Lawson, is forced to return to London to live and work with her aunt and uncle at their pub in the East End. Then one fateful day, Ian Beresford walks into the bar and eighteen-year-old Rebecca, longing for security and a home of her own, falls deeply in love.
But Ian disappears and Rebecca discovers to her horror that she’s pregnant. Frantic with worry, she travels to his family home in Stoke-on-Trent to find him. But awaiting her is the shocking news of an appalling tragedy.
Will Rebecca keep her baby, and finally find the happiness she’s been seeking?
