Amid the chaos of WWII, an aristocratic soldier finds love with a Birmingham factory girl in this sweeping historical romance.
England, 1942. To escape the bombings in Birmingham, munitions worker Cassie Taylor has secured work on a family farm in Dorset. The aristocratic Denham family has fallen on hard times, especially with their twin sons, Stephen and Robert, recovering from war injuries. Though Cassie lied to the Labour Exchange about her experience, she’s determined to prove herself—especially to Robert, whose criticism soon gives way to admiration . . . and then something more.
Just as Cassie discovers the sweetness beneath Robert’s brooding exterior, he’s sent back into battle. From the lush hills of Dorset to the Egyptian front, Robert and Cassie remain united in love. But when Robert is reported missing and presumed dead, will Cassie await his return, or accept Stephen’s offer to take his place?
Rich in historical detail, this emotional wartime saga offers “a lovely story” with “a spirited heroine” (Historical Novel Society).
