A tenant farmer's son had no business dreaming of a future with an earl's daughter, but that couldn't keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington ... until the Great War sobered youthful dreams. His return home comes with the fulfillment of opening a bookshop. When the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she knew she was destined for a loveless match. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow operating a quaint bookshop - and Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the lane. But with the Luftwaffe's blitz terrorizing the skies, Amos and Charlotte must fight together to help Coventry survive.
