Pub Day!

Pub Day!

Thank you Harper Muse Books and HarperCollins for these gifted copies.

Itโ€™s another fabulous Pub Day with two books I just know Iโ€™ll be raving about soon!

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€ - An orphan who spent her youth without a true home, Marion Hoxton found in the Great War something other than destruction. She discovered a chance to belong. As a member of the Womenโ€™s Royal Naval Serviceโ€”the Wrensโ€”Marion gained sisters. She found purpose in her work as a motorcycle dispatch rider assigned to train and deliver carrier pigeons to the front line. And despite the constant threat of danger, she and her childhood friend Eddie began to dream of a future together. Until the battle that changed everything.

Now twenty years later, another war has broken out across Europe, calling Marion to return to the fight. Meanwhile others, like twenty-year-old society girl Evelyn Fairchild, hear the call for the first time. For Evelyn, serving in the war is a way to prove herself after a childhood fraught with surgeries and limitations from a disability. The re-formation of the Wrens as World War II rages is the perfect opportunity to make a difference in the world.

Because everyone else has their life sorted: even Dev, her boy-next-door crush, is now a tall, dark and handsome stranger with a fiancรฉe. She canโ€™t help wishing her future was clearer.

Then Gwen wakes up to discover itโ€™s Christmas day all over again. Like Groundhog Day but with eggnog. And family arguments. On repeat.

As she figures out how to escape her own particular Christmas hell, Dev is the one bright spot. He might be all grown-up but underneath heโ€™s just as kind and funny as she remembers.

Maybe, just maybe, her heart can be mended after all.

But how do you fall in love with someone who canโ€™t remember you from one day to the next?
