Like China by Vanessa Streete
Dobson, just one of those names anyone who's anyone in London knows. Elizabeth and her brother James have it all - the clubs, the money, the high life, but after the sudden death of their parents the only thing they really have is each other, and that's the way they're both determined things are going to stay. With help from Michael, James' best friend, it's the way it stays for a while, but time and the violent side of their nocturnal profession are against them at every turn. There are people so desperate to take it all away that they will go to any lengths to get what they want and that includes Elizabeth's innocence, but Michael has other plans for her on that score and he fights at James' side to protect her, painfully living the lie of brotherly pretense that has kept his shameful secret from even himself for so long. This is the original fight for a really deep love, the original battle between good and evil, and the honest truth about love and loss and love again.
Vanessa Streete was born in North London in 1975. She grew up in a terraced house with her parents and elder sister, who sadly passed away in 2013 at the age of forty-two. Money was short, but love wasn't and they enjoyed a happy life with Nan just up the road and friends in every street, before moving out of London to Essex in the late 1980s. Vanessa wasn't keen on school, and at the earliest opportunity was out in the world, but she was always writing and scribbling. She never settled for long though, being a social butterfly. She was a bouncer for several years and enjoyed the life, then came a career in Education within Attendance, then venue & events management. Her close friends and family would call her inspirational, if not a little out of the box, someone who knows what she wants and how to get it. Others would say she is creative with a real zest for life, is a loyal to a fault and a trusted reliable friend who also happens to be a social networking genius, and of course there are those who would simply shrug. She has worked hard for what she has and enjoys life to the full. She is a devoted wife, married to her absolute soulmate. They have one son who is adored and together with two dogs, a crazy Heinz 57 who was rescued from a bin somewhere in Spain and the family beast, they all reside in the Essex countryside.
