There is always a little sadness but there was more happiness than sadness in this wonderful story. Iâm hoping there is more to come. Thanks Rosie!
Love this type of book, easy reading when I canât sleep at night and when I just need something simple to read. Nice little story lines in this authors (Rosie Clarke) books.
This is the second book in the series that Iâve read. Believable characters. Fun to read story.

After the wedding they go to Gerald and aunt Helen’s house and they find aunt Helen dead at the bottom of the stairs. Helen is convinced that Gerald killed her. She is encouraged to get a private detective to look into Gerald’s background. Ben returns to London and with a misunderstanding he thinks that Sally is involved with Mick, which was a misunderstanding. Ben tells Sally to come to Paris to have a look at the fashions there. On their weekend away he tells her about his wife who has just passed away. They get together and decide to marry around Christmas.

That will be at Christmas. So Sally and Ben marry in September 1913. At the wedding Beth is pregnant. After the wedding Gerald has discovered that Beth is trying to looks at what Gerald’s history. The PI has discovered that Gerald has had a number of wives and they are all been killed. Beth is attacked by Gerald when he broke into Jack’s house. The police arrived and arrest him. But Beth has a miscarriage that night. Around that time Sally tells Ben that she is pregnant.
I am really enjoying these Harper’s books. I like that the characters and storyline is woven around the happenings at that time, women’s sufferage, the titanic and of course whispers of the war to come. I’m looking forward to book 3. Thank you Rosie Clarke
