What to expect
Will love or duty be her downfall?
Wivenhoe, 1940.
As war tightens its grip, the residents of Harbour House are doing their bit for King and country—keeping calm through air raids, blackouts and family issues.
When Elizabeth Roby’s glamorous young cousin Lucinda Somiton arrives from London, scandal at her heels and a broken heart in her past, she brings a spark of chaos to the quiet Essex town. Accustomed to champagne parties and bright lights, Lucinda struggles to adjust to ration books and village gossip.
But when she volunteers to aid the war effort, Lucinda begins to find a sense of purpose—and perhaps a chance to redeem her name. Yet just as she starts to build a new life, the past threatens to catch up with her once again. And in wartime, every choice comes at a cost…

'Curl up in a chair with Fenella J Miller's characters and lose yourself in another time and another place.' Lizzie Lane
'Engaging characters and setting which whisks you back to the home front of wartime Britain. A fabulous series!' Jean Fullerton
