After tragedy, a young mother finds happiness again... before a bitter enemy threatens to destroy everything. Anne Baker's unforgettable saga, Keep the Home Fires Burning, is a tale of tragedy, courage and devastating jealousy. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Lyn Andrews. 'With characters who are strong, warm and sincere, this novel is a joy to read' - Coventry Evening Telegraph Lovely young Cathy is left pregnant with her first child when her husband is killed in the war. For a while she lives with her in-laws, but she leaps at the chance to return as a maid to the household where she worked before her marriage. With the birth of her daughter she is compelled to return to her parents-in-law, a less than ideal situation, particularly when in due course Cathy is being courted by a dear old friend. When Cathy marries again and sets up in the antiques business with her husband, it looks like at last she will find the happiness she deserves, but she has made an enemy who can't bear to see Cathy enjoying her life... What readers are saying about Keep the Home Fires Burning: 'Very good - five stars'

When He Was Wicked
Widowhood, grief and a long friendship turning to love again, but Regency high society and far spicier on the page.
Slow Dance
Friends-to-lovers second chance with a single parent and years of longing; contemporary, slower burn and a bit steamier.
The People We meet On Vacation
Another friends-to-lovers second chance built on years of history, but contemporary, sunny and lightly steamy instead of wartime grief.
Happy Place
Shares the second-chance and old-friends warmth, though it swaps saga hardship for a modern friend-group vacation and more open-door heat.
A pocketful of silver
Same author's clean Merseyside saga of buried family secrets and hard-won love, but centred on a girl's coming of age rather than a widow's remarriage.
The Heartbreak Sheriff
Keeps the second-chance and single-parent threads plus a malicious enemy, but far darker and spicier with murder and suspense.
