  In a world at war, a young woman must face her darkest fears…
  
   
  1941. After the death of her beloved mother, nineteen-year-old Romilly Brooks impulsively accepts a job as a nanny, accompanying eight-year-old Freddie and his grandmother on a sea voyage from war-torn London to the safety of New York. From the first, Romilly is entranced by the opulent ocean liner… if only she could put the idea of German U-boats circling beneath the waves out of her mind.
  
   
  Then she meets Edward Witney. Handsome and attentive, Edward wants to know everything about her, without sharing anything of himself. Why is this mysterious man aboard the Lucknow, and who is the dark-haired woman with an unplaceable accent he keeps whispering with behind closed doors?
  
   
  Just as she’s beginning to unpick his secrets, a thunderous explosion tears through the night. A German torpedo has struck the ship, and Romilly and Freddie are thrown into the deadly Atlantic. Clinging to a flimsy raft, they spot Edward, unconscious nearby.
  
   
  As they’re beginning to lose hope, they glimpse the Lucknow’s lifeboat six – its emergency light a beacon of safety in the freezing night. But when Romilly and Freddie try to board, they’re told that there isn’t enough room for them both. 
  
   
  Romilly is suddenly forced to confront a terrible truth: this is a night they might not all survive…

  From Teresa Crane comes this searing and romantic story for listeners of Dinah Jefferies, Santa Montefiore or Victoria Hislop.
   
  Cathy Kotsikas is as unsettled as anyone in postwar Britain. A hasty marriage has become an exhausting clash of personalities. Leon, her Greek husband, as charming as he is ruthless and self-centred, understands neither her mildly eccentric character nor her need for freedom. 
   
  Cathy’s sanctuary is Sandlings, a remote cottage on the barren Suffolk coast left to her by her grandfather. 
   
  For Leon, however, his business in London and the restoration of his family home in Greece are of paramount importance. When Nikos, Leon’s son, arrives from New York, he is drawn to Cathy from the first, and she to him. 
   
  Neither sees the danger of the attraction until it is too late. Their chemistry becomes a spiral of passion and betrayal culminating in the wild sunlit beauty of the Greek countryside.
