The War Between Us
Please note this book was previously titled The Morning Promise and The Silver Locket.
1914.
War brought them together, now duty threatens to tear them apart.
Rose Courtenay is bound by duty to her wealthy family. She is expected to marry well and continue the family legacy. But when war engulfs Europe, she sees her chance to escape.
She volunteers as a nurse on the Western Front, prepared to face the horrors of the battlefield rather than submit to a life she doesn’t want.
Arriving in France, Rose is immediately thrown into the chaos of war as she tends to injured soldiers. At the hospital she is reunited with Lieutenant Alex Denham, her childhood friend she never thought she’d see again.
The connection between Rose and Alex is instant and, as she nurses him back to health, stolen moments turn into something deeper.
But Alex has a secret, one that binds him to a duty he can’t escape. As war rages around them, Rose and Alex must decide — will they fight for love, or will duty tear them apart once more?
A sweeping tale of forbidden romance, sacrifice and resilience
2011 Reviewers' Choice Award from Single Titles.
