From beloved author June Tate comes a saga of courage, sacrifice and the unbreakable spirit of wartime Britain.

Southampton, 1914. With war looming and her father gravely ill, seamstress Daisy Gilbert works tirelessly to keep her struggling family afloat.

But when her wages no longer stretch far enough, Daisy is drawn into the glamorous but dangerous world of the Solent Club -- a lively music hall where soldiers spend their last hours of freedom in a haze of whisky and waltzes before heading to the front.

By day, Daisy continues to stitch fine gowns for the ladies of the town. But by night, she serves drinks in a glittering world that hides dark dangers. She will learn the hard way that charm can hide cruelty and friendship can turn to betrayal.

With her family on the brink of ruin, Daisy will risk everything to protect them -- even her good name.

As war tears across Europe, Daisy faces battles of her own against gossip, temptation and a ruthless man determined to possess her. But in a city brimming with danger, can she still hold on to the hope of a brighter future?

This compelling WW1 saga is perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke, Lizzie Lane, Sheila Riley, Chrissie Walsh, Susanna Bavin or May Ellis.
