博客來The next gripping instalment in Fenella J. Miller’s Harbour House series
Wivenhoe May 1940
A moment that changes everything...
The war continues to rage, but for now, Harbour House continues to keep the Roby family safe from harm. Not so for new lodger Richard Stoneleigh. As one of the few men who can captain a ship, Richard is called to help with the dangerous evacuation of troops from Dunkirk - it’s a perilous voyage that almost costs Richard his life...
Housemaid, Annie Thomas, initially disliked Richard and his hoity toity ways, but after his heroic return she sees a changed man. Richard seems to know the value of life and is eager to grab every day and make it count. And Annie, recently widowed and feeling slightly adrift in life, finds him compelling.
As their friendship develops, so too do their feelings for one another. But Annie knows that she can never truly be with a man like Richard - he is far above her own lowly class.
But war changes everything and with the fear of imminent invasion hanging over everyone, Anne and Richard decide that perhaps it’s time that they change too...and take a chance together?
Will they overcome the social divides between them and find love in the darkest of times?
