The cover for The Tea Rose was pretty nice too. There is actually going to be a third book as well, but I guess I should wait until there is a title for that one before I start getting too excited!ĭo you like the cover? Yes I do. As soon as I heard that there was going to be a sequel it was on my TBR list. Why did you get this book? I read The Tea Rose last year and really liked it. Year published: 2006 (although I don't think it is out in some parts of the world until 2007) The Winter Rose brings the beginning of the twentieth century vividly to life, drawing the reader into its underworld, its society and the shadows where the strict rules of the time blur into secret passions. India finds herself, against her will being drawn ever closer to him, enticed by the flashes of a softer side beneath his gruff exterior.

It is in an opium den that India meets one of London's most notorious gangsters: Sid Malone - violent, criminal and also devastatingly attractive.

But India Selwyn Jones, beautiful and headstrong, sees a real need for her knowledge in the back streets where women are dying of hunger and overwork. It's 1900 and the East End of London is a dangerous place for a woman doctor at a time when such thing is rare. It is the sequel to The Tea Rose, which I read and loved last year. As soon as I heard that this book was being written it was on my TBR list. This is the book that I am submitting for the August TBR challenge.
