    Love-in-War Series

    About this series

    When Ellen Roberts opens her front door and finds her long-absent granddaughter Janie standing there, little does she expect she will be confronted by the past.

    For, once Janie unearths a box of correspondence from the First World War hidden in a cupboard, memories come flooding back—how Ellen solved the mystery of those letters, the romance she found along the way, and a guilty secret she's kept from her daughter Frances for years.

    That history belongs as much to Frances and Janie as to Ellen. Will she have the courage to share it?

      Nadine Crichton is a glamorous thirty-something woman of the eighties, running a successful business with her friend Pat. But is it enough? Orphaned as a young adult, she longs to have a family to belong to. She's not the sort to act on a whim, but as 1987 gets underway and heralds a whole series of disasters from the Zeebrugge ferry sinking to the King's Cross fire, that's just what she does. Surely this look-alike woman from years ago must be a relative. Her search leads her first to a small English village, where she finds unexpected complications in the person of local farmer Josh Reynolds. She's not looking for another failure at love, and he's clearly not interested, or so she thinks. Her discovery of a link to Alice brings unwelcome publicity about her past, but spurs Nadine on to visit France and Switzerland to reveal the full story of her great aunt's courage and uncover secrets that go back to both world wars. As she comes to know and understand this lost relative she gains a new perspective on her own losses and re-examines her priorities. If you enjoy a carefully crafted story, with well-researched, authentic historical settings, a strong romantic interest, a bit of mystery and a happy ending, then you'll like this novel.

      It's September, 1938, and war is coming. Seventeen-year-old Emily Flannigan faces separation from everyone and everything she knows and loves when she travels alone across the Atlantic to the safe haven of America. Her adventure begins with a lost suitcase— and meeting Howard Mortimer, the handsome young man who comes to her aid. Emily may be missing school, but her education continues apace as she becomes a reluctant pin-up girl, befriends shady women, and takes on the care of a friend's abandoned baby. Howard Mortimer, a British Naval Reservist, finds he cannot stop thinking about his "suitcase girl" and wondering if she is safe. Through loss and adventure, her picture and letters keep him from succumbing to loneliness. A chance meeting in America during the war cements Emily's hold on his heart, but it isn't until peace is declared that they will meet again. How can Howard find a way to overcome the obstacles Emily seems to be putting in the path of their future? A mysterious painting, a final bequest, and the story of Emily's own heritage will either bring her and Howard together or forever keep them apart.
