To start again, Mary must leave the past behind...


With no husband and two small children to care for, survival is Mary's only concern.


She needs money ... and can't be too choosy about the job.


Mr Wetherby doesn't need any more workers for his expanding business, but as a favour to an old acquaintance, he'll make an exception ... for Mary.


Dear sweet Mary.


He wants her.


She needs him.


Can they build the foundations of a happy life together? Or will a web of lies and deceit be their undoing?




Inspired by a true story, Hooks & Eyes begins an epic saga of one family's trials, tragedies, and triumphs as they seek their fortune in Victorian-era England.


If you like tales of women striving to protect their families, then you'll love the first instalment in this engaging series.

Industry Reviews

IHIBRP 5 star book review: “Hooks & Eyes” is a period piece that true romance lovers will completely enjoy, filled with characters whose larger-than-life personalities range from the wicked and the scheming, to the lovelorn and sublime. From the callous and domineering Mister Wetherby, to the cool and calculated [Sarah Ann], McBeath arranges a chessboard of characters who each have hidden agendas and aspirations that will impact the future of everyone around them, including the oldest of men to the most innocent of young women and children. INDIES HELPING INDIES BOOK REVIEW PROJECT
