Publisher's Synopsis
Cathy was a happy, blushing bride when Britain went to war with Germany three years ago. But her youthful dreams were crushed by her violent husband Stanley's involvement with the fascist Blackshirts, and even when he's conscripted to fight she knows it's only a brief respite - divorce is not an option. When a telegram arrives declaring that her husband is MIA, Cathy can finally allow herself to hope - she only has to wait six months before she is legally a widow. So she advertises for a lodger, and Sergeant Archie McIntosh of a Royal Engineers bomb disposal squad turns up. He is kind, clever and thoughtful; their mutual attraction is instant. But with Stanley's fate unclear, and bombs raining down, will Cathy ever have the love she deserves?
