Lesley Pearse 5 Books Set Collection Pack By Lesley Pearse

On London's Hampstead Heath two girls meet by chance: well-mannered and smartly dressed Verity and dishevelled and grubby Ruby. Yet the mismatched pair form an instant friendship strong enough to survive their parent's disapproval.

When war engulfs the country - sending Ruby to Devon while Verity struggles to find a new beginning under a shadow from her past - the girls are convinced they will always be there for each other.

Until the day one breaks the other's heart . . .

Can Verity and Ruby find a way back to each other before it's too late?

She defied her parents to marry for love . . .

She's wearing an old-fashioned dress and her hair has been hacked off. There are signs she has been bound by her wrists and ankles.

She doesn't know how she ended up there, or even her own name.

The police are baffled and when the doctors examine her, they make a shocking discovery: She has recently given birth.

Until Flora's suicide, Eva's world had been secure - but overnight everything changes. For when Flora leaves Eva a London artist's studio in her will, she finds her mother had a secret past.

In the studio's attic are Flora's paintings and diaries, and Eva learns her mother was a popular artist in the swinging sixties. Eva's hunt for answers uncovers clues to a shocking crime which led Flora to hide her past.

But will discovering the truth destroy Eva's belief in everything she holds dear? And will this journey lead her and those she loves into danger?

Tragedy sent her on a journey far from home . . .
