At the dawn of World War 2, shop girl Sara dreams of a life beyond the small pit town of Whitton Grange. Desperate for adventure, she is thrilled when she meets the charming and exotic Joe Dimarco, whose family own the exciting new gelato shop in the village.

Soon, love blossoms and Sara finds true happiness for the first time. But Joe is Italian, and as war threatens, hostility boils over in their little town. Sara's family are against the match and urge her to choose loyalty to them over love.

Their passion seems doomed - does Sara have to choose between her heart and her home?

Perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin, Kitty Neale and Maggie Hope.
