A Wartime Promise for the East End Girls
Jean Fullerton
East London, 1943: As air raid sirens wail, can the East End Girls join forces to protect the people they love the most?
Brought up in London’s tough East End, Nell Reilly’s blonde curls and piercing blue eyes might look angelic, but she is a fighter. She promised her little sister Jo that she’d build a new life for them one day, and she is fiercely determined to keep it. Until tall, broad-shouldered Tom Hunter stops her in her tracks…
Tom works on the black market, selling illegal goods to a city exhausted by years of rationing. And despite his handsome face, Nell knows from bitter experience that falling for a man like that could put her job and her promise to Jo at risk. But when she witnesses his unexpected kindness and sees how he cares for her precious sister, she realises that Tom has made an impression she can’t forget, no matter how hard she tries…
But Tom has a secret, one he’s finding increasingly hard to keep from Nell and his fellow black-marketeers, one that will put his life in terrible danger.
When Nell learns what he really does for a living, will their love survive to fight another day? And, as bombs crash down over the East End, can Nell – with the help of her friends in the Women’s Auxiliary Airforce – reach him in time to save his life?
Fans of Katie Flynn, Rosie Goodwin and Lizzie Lane will adore this page-turning, heart-warming and emotional World War Two saga about love, friendship and finding hope in the darkest of places.
