The Dressmaker's Chance

Brides of Bold Street, Book 4

By: Michelle Vernal

Narrated by: Siobhan Waring

Her hands shake as she picks up the velvet box containing her engagement ring—she's never been able to throw it away. But could unearthing the beautiful jewel bring more heartbreak, or is it a chance to heal decades-old wounds?

When she found a lost little girl in front of her shop, dressmaker Evelyn Flooks decided to raise Sabrina as her own daughter. So, when Sabrina announces her engagement, Evelyn gifts her the ring she herself was given, to truly show Sabrina that she is Evelyn's family.

Though the precious ring has many happy memories, it also reminds Evelyn of the heartbreak she once suffered. And the secret she's kept buried for decades. But Evelyn reels in shock when she meets Sabrina's future father-in-law. It's the man she once loved more than anything.

Evelyn knows this is her only chance to right the wrongs of the past, before it is too late. But seeing Sabrina glow with delight at becoming a bride-to-be, she can't bring herself to destroy her girl's happiness by sharing her own secret… about how Adam's father broke her heart, how she came to own the bridal shop, and how her family was torn apart.

Will finally opening up be as terrible as she fears? Or will it give Evelyn the chance to heal, in time to watch the girl she loves as a daughter walk down the aisle?

You will not be able to put down this absolutely gorgeous and tear-jerking historical fiction novel. Perfect for fans of Barbara Davis, Sandy Taylor, and Jean Grainger.
