ONE CHANCE ENCOUNTER WILL CHANGE HER LIFE FOREVER...
In a small Lancashire cotton town in the 1930s, Daisy Bell dreams her life away. At twenty-six, still a spinster and heiress to her mother's potato pie shop, she's resigned to a lonely old age. But toiling over the bake-house fire she dreams of a better world - a world of glamour and romance as seen on the silver screen.
Then she meets Sam a dashing Clark Gable look-alike and chauffeur to a wealthy London businessman - and suddenly her life is changed forever...
Will Sam be the answer to her prayers?
A Better World Than This won the Romantic Novelists' Award. Daisy's story continues in A World Apart.
