Publisher's Synopsis
London 1939. As war casts a dark shadow in his homeland Germany, journalist Sebastien wanders the grey fog-filled streets. His heart breaks as he remembers his hurried goodbye to his mother and sister. But even if everyone in London looks at him with suspicion in their eyes, he knows he made the right choice. It was the only way to keep his family safe from the Nazis hunting him. When he sees a notice for a lodger in a pretty house on a cobbled street, he doesn't allow hope to flare within him. He's been rejected at every door he's knocked on. But when Finley agrees to rent him the room, he allows himself to see a chink of light in the darkness. And as they grow closer over cups of cocoa in the cosy kitchen, love begins to develop. But Finley has something that she hasn't been able to tell Sebastien; something that makes her life alone in the city all the more dangerous.
