1942: Chance has brought them together, will war keep them apart?

Widowed Eloise Roby is surrounded by family at Harbour House, yet she can’t shake the feeling that something is missing from her life. With her son busy overseeing the local shipyards and the war showing no sign of ending, she longs for a purpose of her own.

Then American sea captain Dan Harkness arrives in Wivenhoe, delivering vital supplies from across the Atlantic. Despite their very different lives, an unexpected friendship soon blossoms into something deeper.

But Dan's work takes him into perilous waters, while Eloise's life is firmly rooted in England with the family she loves.

With an ocean between them and no certainty about what tomorrow might bring, can they dare to hope for a future together?
