A newly independent woman. A man severed from all his anchors. A love that will remake their world.
England, 1917.
When Ophelia Blackwood joins the Women’s Land Army, she’s not only escaping her father’s imprudent matchmaking attempts, but also staking a claim for the freedom she has always sought. The work is hard, but she finally feels part of something larger than herself. The unexpected return of Silas Larke, as intriguing and attractive as ever, casts her desire for him against her hard-won independence.
Injured at the Front, Silas returns to England to recover, but while his leg is on the mend, his disillusionment only grows. And the last thing he expects when assigned by the War Office to lend a hand on a local farm is to come face to face with the woman even the horrors of war couldn’t erase from his mind.
Ophelia and Silas fight the rising tide of their attraction, against the threat of wartime food shortages and the repossession of the farm. But can a woman who seeks independence and a man shaped by tradition find their way to each other?
As their days in the fields blend into one long hot summer, Ophelia begins to wonder if, together, they might be a force to be reckoned with.
A new voice for historical romance fans, Hillary Bowen's book takes readers out of the Regency ballrooms and into the 20th century English countryside. Amidst the challenges of the wartime home front and the fight for equality, love blooms. Found family, scorching chemistry, and the beauty of finding your place in the world make this book a must-read.
