From rags...

Single mother Francesca is struggling to get by when an act of desperation leads to her owing a debt to notorious gangland boss, Tony Lambrianu.

Tony has his own troubles – a change of image from playboy to respectable married man is needed to further his criminal career. He has women falling at his feet, but none he wants to make his wife.

To riches.

As Francesca is drawn deeper into the dark underworld dealings of Tony and his associates, she has to make alliances of her own to survive. And she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her small son.

But at what cost?

Please note this is a re-release of Francesca previously published by Gillian Godden

Brilliant

What a briliant book book 3 in this series and it gets better with each series looking forward to book 4. Tony and Francesca met when she was a struggling single mum to Bobby. They as a marriage of convenience which had to last a year before getting divorced. Life went on until they realised they really loved each other and decided to get !series for real.

Loved it

Was a bit slow going with them getting together, stick with it as it's a very emotional ending
