Alice (Book 4)
London 1929.
Lady Alice Mayton-Walsh has always been a free independent spirit, a woman ahead of her time. She has always been a risk taker, grabbing life with both hands and living it to the full after the premature death of her new husband in the Great War. With wealth and position, having travelled the world, Alice boldly defies convention and created, Sheer, her women's magazine to rival Vogue, However, after years of hard work and success, she finds that her life isn't as complete as she expected it to be. Something is missing.
Vince, her brother's best friend, a man she has known since childhood, reveals plans to marry an heiress to save his family's fortunes. The news shocks Alice. He is throwing away his life marrying a woman he doesn't love, and what's more, Alice realises she wants more than just friendship with him.
Yet, before she has a chance to follow her heart, Vince becomes a changed man. After losing everything, he turns his back on the glitzy and extravagant life and moves to the East End of London. Confused, Alice tries to understand this very different Vince, but it's not until she is confronted by three poor orphans and Vince's determination to help them that she recognises what has been missing in her life might be right under her nose.
But a tragic accident threatens the happy future Alice has dreamed about. Has she lost her second chance to find love?
