    Lucky, i dont know why im writing this because this will never have to face the abuse and strain i had to cope with before i took my wise decision. A suffragette is no profession for a child, let alone a manipulative one. I cant help it that i HATE you; why couldn't you have stayed the same and not stood out? You ruined our reputation- well mine now! My money is only a tool, it is not super glue to fix Dumb Lucky Johnson's ignorant offences!!! Your name is a shield, your heart is your enemy, your breath is fast but will slow down- my reputation is gone and its ALL down to you!! Only MY reputation; YOU are dead to me now! From Dad

    In 1882, Doctor Jane Barber has no shortage of problems. From being scrutinised at work for her gender, judged for her youth, and undermined by society as a whole, shes had quite enough. The Boer War was a traumatic experience on its own, but on top of that, Jane now has to find accommodation in London on her own- as the years she should've spent meeting a man and settling down, she spent in a trench tending to wounds. Detective Inspector Arthur Murphy is in need of a roommate. His last was too whiny, the one before that too loud. Another whistled too much, and a brief encounter with one man's dog was enough for Arthur to evict him immediately. When his sister Ada finally puts her foot down, and finds him a roommate herself. Which is how Arthur comes home one day to find his new roommate: a woman. If the Boer War was explosive, Jane and Arthur sharing a shabby flat in London is practically a world war. Spilled tea, scattered case files, and one meddling doctor who won't stop tidying his desk. Arthur nearly kills Jane. Jane nearly kills Arthur. And no, for the last time, as they have to tell many people, they are not married. | Work In Progress Story | Will become a series once this book is complete | Please vote and comment |
