A WORLD AT WAR

When June bumps into Flight Lieutenant Murray Andrews on the bombed streets of Liverpool, the attraction is instant. But how can they think of love when war is tearing the world apart?

As winter closes in, and the war rages on, can June find the strength and courage to make a better life for herself and the children?

A gripping story of love, friendship and hope in the darkest of places, perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Katie Flynn.
