    About this ebook

    "Rosalie Faire barely had time to scream. The explosion hit as a dazzling flash of inconceivably lurid light. It was as if the heavens themselves had torn apart to reveal the blazing face of a harsh and angry God. The brightness lit up Rosalie’s world, then destroyed it in a moment of ruinous radiance."

    And so starts Rosalie's strange new world, one of darkness, for she is blind, may never see again. A stranger, Derek, appears at her hospital bedside. He's loving and kind, but who is he? Why is he there? And what of Thomas, her fiance? He visits, but can he see past her blindness and still love her?

    In a London torn by bombing raids, rampant destruction, where daily life, like a candle flame, flickers in the wind, Rosalie must struggle to survive, do her best under such harsh conditions, and despite her blindness. But can she cope? Can she endure? Thomas seems so distant. And the stranger, Derek, is a mystery, a person she has literally never laid eyes upon. Just why is he there for her? Read November Rose, an exciting historical romance set in World War II London to find the answers.

      Rosalie Faire barely had time to scream. The explosion hit as a dazzling flash of inconceivably lurid light. It was as if the heavens themselves had torn apart to reveal the blazing face of a harsh and angry God. The brightness lit up Rosalie’s world, then destroyed it in a moment of ruinous radiance. The white glare washed away everything around her, was impossibly brilliant.

      That was all. Just an instant of incandescent intensity and then an enveloping darkness, an enfolding cold blankness so complete it was as if she had plunged into oblivion. For Rosalie, there was nothing more, not then, and not for a very long time thereafter. Just how long, she had no way of knowing when she first awoke.

      But now, at last, she was conscious.
