Sparks fly when she collides with dashing Jack Carter, the hotel housekeeper's disreputable brother.

A visit to a home for waifs and strays makes Charity question her values. Her attempt to help a small, mute boy she sees there leads her to attractive and worthy Dr Adam Radcliffe. Together they uncover a web of deceit, betrayal and lies surrounding the boy's family.

Fate unites Jack and Charity in a quest to save the boy from unimaginable evil.

Will Charity fall for Jack's mesmerising charm, or will Adam's selfless compassion capture her heart?

Packed with compelling twists and turns A Heart full of Hope is a perfect read for fans of Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs.
