Mine before Dawn

A dark-skinned stranger arrives in town.

And she is not alone. In her arms is a four-year-old boy.

In 1960s Wakefield, Asha is everything the town fears—foreign, alone, and carrying a blurred past. Doors close. Words cut deep.

In a place where the unknown is something to fear and repel, an unmarried woman with a child has prey written all over her.

James has never looked beyond the life he’s always known—until her. What begins as ribald comments in the shadows turns into something he can’t let go of.

Can something born in darkness survive the light of dawn?
