About this listen

A BRAND NEW and deeply emotional wartime saga from bestselling author Elaine Johns.

Perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke and Fenella J Miller

She lost everything to war. But can she risk her heart again?

Widowed and grieving, Eileen Bentley leaves bomb-scarred London for the rugged coast of Cornwall, determined to start over as housekeeper to her dear late husband's brother.

But the war is never far behind. As air raids reach the docks of Falmouth and Eileen takes up fire-watching duty once more, the past refuses to loosen its hold - her husband's memory shadowing every step.

Then she meets Captain Andrew Harvey, a man marked by loss, whose quiet strength begins to break through her sorrow. As danger closes in and old loyalties pull tight, Eileen must decide: can she open her heart again, or will grief keep her bound to what she's lost?
