Fire was my only companion. A burning light in a world otherwise filled with darkness. A life of pain and abuse I never thought I'd escape. I'm still not convinced I have. When friendly Santa-figure turned trucker, Al, finds me at a rest stop and offers me a job at his idyllic farm in small-town Nebraska, the picturesque family life is more than I could hope for. And his youngest son, Kyle, is a dream romance that I don't deserve. But no dream lasts. As a new nightmare begins, I'm back where I started. Captive. Abandoned. Alone. And staring into the flames. Except this time the embers are dying, and when the monster in the dark enslaves my soul, no one will stoke me back to life. If you like a survivor story with a touch of romance, you will love this beautiful dark psychological thriller.

The bright dawn of the twentieth century finds itself shadowed by the strictures of the Victorian Age. Women, whatever their status in society, are still women and are expected to conform to their well-defined role in life as a mother and wife. For the Bannister girls, daughters of a wealthy and respected family, this is not enough. But the Great War, with all its horrors and degradation, brings with it opportunities for the girls - the stolen lives of a whole generation of young men slowly erode the man-made barriers to equality and fulfilment. For Ellen, tempestuous and headstrong, the way is paved for her to join the suffragette movement; for young Angel, yet to discover her true self, the war creates challenges that harden her character, and nurtures a love that unleashes a dangerous passion; and for Louise, the eldest, bright but sensible the terrible conflict brings a tragedy that threatens to tear her life apart.

But as none of these suited her very well, she preferred to fall back upon chaotic anticipation. "When I think of Cobhurst," she wrote to her brother, "I smell marigolds, and think of rather poor blackberries that you pick from bushes. Please do not put in your letters anything that you know about it, for I would rather see everything for myself."
