Home for Christmas by Lizzie Lane
Lizzie Lane . Unknown Year . English
Will her soldier sweetheart make it home for Christmas? Lydia is in training to be a nurse when she first meets Robert and, despite the differences in their class and background, they fall head over heels for one another. Robert is the nephew of a Lord, and Lydia a mere doctor’s daughter – and a German doctor at that. While her parentage is no hindrance to their relationship in peacetime, when war is declared Robert’s family makes it clear they no longer approve of the match. With no means of contacting Robert on the Western Front, Lydia volunteers herself, joining the Red Cross. But her love affair with Robert has had more than one consequence…

About the Author
I've four books coming out this year. The first, Bad Company at Coronation Close, was published on the 15th of January. Echoes of War at Orchard Cottage Hospital will be published in May, Orphan of the Storm - a stand alone historical set in England, Virginia and Jamaica around 1814 will be published in August, and last, but by no means least, Trouble Ahead in Coronation Close will be published in November. I've also got a couple of surprises up my sleeve. A Romano/British historical, and a supernatural. More about those when the sun comes back. At present it's dull and grey. Night is coming in, but give it a few weeks and I'll hear the birds twittering as they prepare to build their nests. Imbolc is in February. This was the Celtic celebration when the seeds began turning in the earth. A time of revival and rebirth. All part of the circle of life. As for world events? The tyrant has his day, but all things come to an end and to quote the words of Bohemian Rhapsody, nothing really matters.
