'OH MY GODDESS this book has become a new favourite... Ruby and Sam's love is addicting and heart-warming, leaving me feel the same emotions alongside them through every bump in the road. Their love was so enchanting and strong' @haleyyneal, 5 stars

A gripping story of love and hope in the face of war, perfect for fans of Ellie Midwood, Lorna Cook and Catherine Hokin!

Destiny brought them together, but will war tear them apart?

As dawn broke, the landing craft engines shuddered into life. Our boat surged forwards and we approached Omaha Beach under a sky like an iron lid, crouched in the bottom of the boat to avoid enemy fire...

A Year Earlier

In 1943, as the threat of Hitler's troops feels closer than ever, Ruby Mottram can't help but feel she'll never escape dreary, war-smashed Devon and life with her controlling father.

But when destiny puts her on the path of American soldier Sam Archer, it seems anything could be possible. Sam is generous and kind, even while battling the troubled past he left behind.

Together, there is hope for a different future. But it seems history has other plans when on June 6, 1944 Sam's battalion sets off for Omaha beach...

Will the promise to make it back to Ruby be enough to keep him alive?
