Readers will notice how Amy’s quiet resilience, Edmond’s duty-bound courage, and Beth’s arrival shape a deeply human story about love and forgiveness. The collection thrives on its seamless continuity—revisiting familiar locations, voices, and dilemmas—while offering distinct moods in each book: the tender courtship of book 1, the tense heroism of book 2, and the reflective healing of book 3. The paperback format ensures a uniform reading experience, ideal for gifting and for readers who enjoy binge-reading a complete series without interruptions. Whether you’re rediscovering a beloved era or seeking a well-constructed historical romance with a strong sense of place, this set delivers a gratifying reading journey and a distinctive, collectible feel.

Books Included in This Collection:
Until we meet again
Summer 1914 swings between shy smiles and looming uncertainty as Amy Fletcher meets Edmond Derwent. In Sussex, a quiet office life gives way to a spark that might defy class boundaries and family expectations. When war erupts, Amy’s courage deepens as she trains as a VAD nurse, while Edmond must lead men into the unknown on the front lines. This opening chapter sets the emotional stakes, weaving romance with the stark realities of a nation mobilising for war.

Until the War is Over
Summer 1918 marks a turning point as the war finally shifts toward peace. Edmond’s frontline bravery and Amy’s tireless nursing yield a fragile hope for a shared future. Back home, Beth’s arrival brightens a household strained by memory and loss, yet the Derwent name still casts expectations. The couple navigate how to belong to Edmond’s world while honouring Amy’s roots, choosing love, resilience, and a willingness to build a life beyond the trenches.

Until We Can Forgive
Spring 1919 brings a fragile peace and a new Cambridge address where Edmond’s injuries linger and their family grows. Amy, now a wife and mother, learns that forgiveness takes longer than the ceasefire. The couple confronts lingering fear, adjusts to domestic life, and discovers that courage can mean choosing a future together even when the past keeps pulling at them. A quiet, emotionally honest finale, this book completes a sweepingly human love story.
