From Rags to Kisses

As a girl in the London slums, Jenny Tate sets out to rob a beaten boy she finds lying in the street. Instead she and the boy, Aidan Sterling, become each other's only family. Aidan is the illegitimate son of an earl, thrown out after his mother died, and the two stay alive together when the odds are against them.

As teenagers they fall in love. Then Aidan joins a suicide squad of soldiers bound for the Napoleonic Wars, and he and Jenny go separate ways.

Thirteen years later they meet again by chance. Jenny has built a respectable image and works hard to protect it. Aidan, meanwhile, has taken a request from a fellow Survivor to find Harley, a missing street urchin. The search puts him back in Jenny's path.

This is a historical romance about second chances between two people who once knew each other completely. Trust has to be rebuilt, and that means facing the poor children they used to be and the adults they have become. It is the 11th book in the Survivors series.
