Summary

They took her children away, and she will fight to the end to get them back . . . In 1941, mixed race Ruby Darke is born into a family that seem to hate her, but why?

While her two brothers dive into a life of gangland violence, Ruby has to work in their family store. As she blossoms into a beautiful young woman she crosses paths with aristocrat Cornelius Bray, a chance meeting that will change her life forever. When she finds herself pregnant, and then has twins, she is forced to give her children away. At that point she vows never to trust another man again.

As the years pass, Ruby never forgets her babies, and as the family store turns into a retail empire, Ruby wants her children back. But secrets were whispered and bargains made, and if Ruby wants to stay alive she needs to forget the past, or the past will come back and kill her.

Great read, fairly quick paced.

Easy listen, characters develop over time so you don't connect right away but it builds easy enough.

Great Book

Another Great book by Jessie Keane. Same kind of book as the Annie Carter series but different story and plots. And I can’t wait to get stuck into Lawless ( book 2 ~ Ruby Darke ). Highly recommended

Super story

I’ve listened to a previous Jesse Keane story and enjoy her style. She creates very real characters within a pacy storyline. This book follows that trend. The central female lead, Ruby, is a strong and empathetic character, who fights to find her place in the world. Events overtake her in her earlier life but she evolves into an assertive woman who controls her own destiny, albeit at personal costs. The story moves along at a good pace, maintaining the listener’s involvement. Karen Cass is to be praised for her role in driving this, with great delineation between characters. Your emotions vary throughout the book, rising and falling with events. I can’t wait to start the next book in this series.
