Book description
1937: The year of the coronation of King George VI and a pivotal year
for Grace Higgs. Her father's death not only brings loneliness and
heartache, but also the shocking revelation that his business was in
trouble. A hard-working, practical girl, Grace is more concerned with
paying off her father's debts than finding someone to share her life
with. A disastrous love affair has put her off men - for good. Desperate
to save the business, Grace looks through her father's papers and makes
a surprising find - a note addressed to her and a mysterious key. It's a
discovery that transforms her gloomy existence, and she blooms, clear
for all to see. Her transformation doesn't escape the notice of Eric
Tyler, the man who broke Grace's heart. He's back in her life, but is it
for good? And is it Grace or her father's legacy that he's attracted to?
