[Dunkirk]
Sono passati anni dall'evacuazione di Dunkerque, ma la guerra continua ad andare avanti. Per Collins, dopo la RAF, ha inizio una nuova avventura che lo porterà ad aiutare una vecchia conoscenza.
Dal testo:
"Io devo andare là, Mr Dawson. In Francia, in Belgio, persino in Germania. Devo andare là a liberare una persona" fece di nuovo una pausa a causa delle lacrime che stavano per fuoriuscire dai suoi occhi azzurri:"Lui mi ha insegnato tutto, capisce? Lui era la RAF per me. Lui e il mio Spitfire. L'ha mai provato il legame tra commilitoni, signore? E' più della fratellanza, è mettere la propria vita nelle mani del tuo compagno sapendo che lui farà lo stesso con te. Due facce della stessa medaglia, indivisibili. Io e Farrier eravamo così, nonostante i tredici anni di differenza. Non ho mai avuto un legame simile con gli altri alla RAF, per quanto l'abbia voluto e cercato. Forse, se fosse stato abbattuto davanti ai miei occhi, se avessi la certezza che sia morto, sarebbe più facile. Ma io..."
"Vuoi andare a cercarlo" concluse per lui Mr Dawson."
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
