Previously published as Violets and Thorns: A Victorian Romance by Crane, Sara (AUTHOR).
She started with a basket of violets.Then she created her own story.
London, 1860. When Gracie Woods loses her father, she loses everything.
Cast into the freezing streets with no money, no protection, and nowhere to turn, she learns quickly that no one is coming to save her.
Not the kind-eyed gentleman who once bought flowers from her.
Not the boy she only dared to dream about.
And certainly not the city that chews up poor girls and spits them out before breakfast.
But Gracie is determined not to break. She finds her way into a world ruled by sharp women and sharper choices. A world built on scandal and survival. It’s here she learns what power looks like. What freedom costs. And what she’s willing to risk for love.
An emotionally-charged historical romance for readers who love bold heroines, impossible choices, and happy endings that are earned, not given.
