Against overwhelming odds, can she save her legacy ?
Gwenna's life is about to change. Her father is dead, and the family confectionery business on the brink of collapse. Thwarted by society, the plucky sweet maker refuses to accept defeat.

She promised her father she would fulfil his dreams, and save her legacy. But thanks to her overbearing stepbrother, that legacy is at risk. Gwenna must fight for her rights if she is to keep her vow.

She falls in love with the cheeky and charming Johnno, but just when things are beginning to look up, disaster strikes. Throughout the twists and turns of love and tragedy, Gwenna is irrepressible. She refuses to relinquish her goal and lets nothing and no one stand in her way. Blind to anything that could distract her, Gwenna overlooks the most important person in her life, putting her dreams, her family, and her chance at happiness in jeopardy.

Set amid Auckland’s bustling Karangahape Road at the turn of the 20th century.

Utter brilliance. I was captivated from beginning to end. Vicky really brings the characters to life and you can really engage with what it must have been like to be a young girl like Gwenna going into business at the turn of the century in a male dominated society. I was totally engaged with every character, each one contributing to make this a truly wonderful story, my only disappointment was when it ended. This is the first book I have read by this author but it won’t be my last. 5-stars Amazon reviewer
