In the shadows of Victorian London's East End, fifteen-year-old Mary Fletcher survives by her wits and a basket of matches. Orphaned and invisible to the world that turned its back on her, she trusts no one, until the night she saves a bloodied stranger on the docks and hides him beneath the ruins of an abandoned theatre.
Will Hartley isn't just any fugitive. He holds damning secrets that could topple the powerful Ashby empire and expose a horrifying conspiracy that has stolen countless children from the streets. As Mary tends to his wounds, their fates become tangled in a dangerous game of truth, treachery, and an impossible inheritance.
With corrupt constables, ruthless gangs, and a nobleman's fortune built on cruelty closing in, Mary must choose between survival and justice, between guarding her secret sanctuary and risking everything for a cause that could finally bring her the family and future she's never dared dream of.
The Match Girl is a spellbinding tale of courage, love, and resilience. It is a heart-gripping romantic suspense where every spark may light the path to freedom… or burn everything to the ground.
