Publisher's Summary:
She has never met a man like him before. Then again, he has never met a lad like her.
In 1802, Edinburgh's poverty-ridden Old Town is rife with danger, but it is the only home Robbie MacKenzie has ever known. To safeguard herself against the worst villains of the street, Robbie conceals her femininity behind her shorn hair, dirt-smeared face, and tattered breeches. To all the world she is a lad, but beneath the ruse is a woman aching to break free.
Leaving his beloved Highlands behind in pursuit of his prodigal brother, Conall MacKay journeys to Edinburgh. There, he solicits the aid of a young street lad named Robbie. But Conall soon realizes that there is more to both Robbie and Edinburgh's Old Town than what meets the eye.
In a world where wickedness governs and darkness reigns, a savage struggle for dignity, survival, and love begins.

Loved it!
Robbie conceals herself from being a lass by cutting her hair, wearing dirt and bruises and raggedy clothes. She lived in the vaults to survive. Her mother sacrificed herself to save her. Conall came and she helped him save his brother. Love conquers all! This is one of my favorite stories. Don't miss this one.
Wonderful story with rich atmosphere and places many writers ignore when telling stories from this time.
Lily Baldwin weaves a wonderful tale set in the bowels of Edinburgh. Of a woman cast off before she was born by her father, loved by her mother and hidden from the world under the guise of a boy. During her struggles to survive a man from the highlands comes to find his wayward brother and she's forced to face what she's ignored her own needs and a world she left behind.
James McCreadie's narration brings the story to life. This was a wonderful way to discover this story and my first audio book. I'm thrilled with it.
Loved this audio version of A Jewel in the Vaults
Even though I had already read the book, I was lucky enough to win a copy of the audio for review. I love Lily Baldwin's book and this novella was no exception! James McCreadie was very impressive in his narration of the story as well. His accent/burr added much to the story as well as his innate ability to successfully distinguish between the character's voices so that the listener was able to concentrate on the flow of the story and not have to figure out who was actually speaking. I would easily recommend any of Lily Baldwin's books and this audio version to my friends who enjoy listening to the audio versions. They leave you hands free and make you feel like you are right there with the phenomenal characters Ms. Baldwin creates.
Captivating from start to finish!
I loved this story! It had elements of Les Miserables that pulled at my heartstrings, and similarly was a tale of sacrificing all for love. Combine that with braw highlanders and narration in a magnificent brogue. Well. What more can a lass want?
Quite An Unusual Love Story
What did you love best about A Jewel in the Vaults?
This is not the typical love story. I've read stories before where the heroine has to pretend to be male, for situational reasons, but I've not read or heard much about a young woman who was raised as a male to save her from the dangerous existence she was born into. I really appreciated the H/h characters, too. Robbie is a good person who has lived since birth in an underworld of the lowest of people.
