Three

years ago, Margot’s life was turned upside down when her fiancé,

Harry,

went missing in action on the Western Front. Worse, she was left

with a

devastating secret which threatened to ruin her life and

destroy the

reputation of her family. As a respectable vicar’s

daughter, Margot has

had to guard that secret with great care ever

since, no matter how much

pain it causes her.

Now

it’s Christmas 1919, and Margot’s family is gathering back home in the

vicarage for the first time since the end of the Great War. And

miraculously Harry has returned, hoping to see Margot and rekindle their

romance. Can Margot ever reveal the shocking truth to the only man she

has ever loved?
