Her life began with a tragic Christmas birth. Now, it may end in the slums. Only one man can save her.

When her beloved father dies, fifteen-year-old Pearl Grey is left at the mercy of a cruel stepmother who forces her into a monstrous marriage to steal her inheritance. Pearl's only choice is to flee on her wedding night.

To survive, she must become someone else.

She cuts her hair, dons boy's clothing, and vanishes into the brutal slums of Liverpool, where she learns to steal to eat. But she is not just hiding-she is being hunted by her past.

After a desperate escape, she finds refuge as a stable lad on the estate of Arthur Canning, a kind nobleman. When an accident exposes her secret, he sees the courageous woman beneath the rags and offers her his heart.

But Pearl is hiding one last, devastating secret.

As Arthur races to uncover the truth, will he be able to free her from her past?

In a world of stolen identities and dark secrets, this sweeping Victorian romance shows that, in the end, love truly conquers all.
