Embarking on a series of disastrous money-making schemes, Danny finds himself getting into deeper and deeper trouble. But then Maxie begins to face a few troubles of her own...

Reviews

[Katie Goulas · Rating 3 out of 5]

cute and easy story, not the best writing but likeable character. Reminder of how important communication in a relationship is.

[Ria · Rating 5 out of 5]

A brilliant story, charming and romantic, set during the 1960s and told in the style of Josephine Cox and Catherine Cookson.
Well worth reading.
