In love and war, who can you trust?
1944, Hampshire.
Her face still bearing the scars from the explosion at the factory, Rita Brown is nonetheless back on her feet. She’s caught the eye of local wide boy Blackie Bristow, who’s sweeping her around the country in a life of shady glamour.
But there’s a war on, and life is not all fun and games. Some of the local men are taking advantage of the topsy-turvy world to break more than just hearts, and standing up to them comes with its own costs.
Rita keeps calm and carries on with a little help from her friends at the factory. But then she discovers someone there has been leaking secrets to the Germans. With D-Day on the horizon, Rita must work out who she can rely on – and fast.
Here’s your chance to win your own copy and you have until noon UK time on 8th January to enter:a Rafflecopter giveaway

To answer the Rafflecopter Q. I have an interest in early medieval with a family search I’m doing, so for now I would like to live in North Hampshire at the time Empress Matilda was around, (early 1100’s) to see if I can get some answers about family rumours.

Long flowing dresses, knights in shining armour – it would have to be the medieval period for me. I could sit in my solar and do my needle-craft without worrying about what’s for tea …!

Any 20s to 50s books or music switch on something inside me, as my Nan and Mum told me stories, dressed, sang and danced all those years to me. Such wonderful and intriguing times. Love to read and learn more.

Happy New Year! I’m very happy where I am, thanks, as always seem to think the worst of times eg healthcare etc (I’m working on this optimism thing), but I love the roaring 20s as a period
