Market trader, brothel keeper, reluctant bride and ale wife: foundling Nell  Davey didn’t plan on becoming any of these.  Bold, courageous and witty – not to mention mighty of bosom - she is happy enough with her life as kitchen skivvy 

Then plague arrives in London and Nell loses everything.  She has no choice but to escape the city with the grim and forbidding Jem Banks, steward to her dead mistress.  With only Jem and a stray dog for company she travels to an old house on the banks of the Medway, where she hopes to heal and start her life again.  Never mind the fact that there is a whore house in the attic…

But these are dangerous times to be a stranger, and more dangerous yet to be a woman who speaks her mind. Enemies old and new threaten all Nell has built for herself, and when war comes to her door she must risk everything to protect the people and the place she has come to love.
