There are times when civilization is tested to its limits. How far are you willing to go for your country? Will you kill for your country? Will you die for your country? Can you give up your life for the 'greater good'? These questions surge upon war crises and instigate the population to be heroic. The 22 year old scouser Henry David Schneider was asked these same questions when the second world war broke out in august 1939. 

Single, intelligent, strong willed and patriotic, Schneider enlists himself to fight Nazi Germany without a doubt on his mind. But there is only one thing that is grater than heroism and patriotism. Love.

This journey is no ordinary love story. Experiencing friendships, hardships, love, lust, loss, this is a story about people doing their absolute most to enjoy their short time on earth, but who were just unlucky enough to be born within a war century. Shining like sunbeam through cloudy skies, Margaret Rosewood Dickens (Rose) and Henry David Schneider develop their story in the unfortunate backdrop of a World War 2 England.

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. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
