A rose in winter - Linda Sole

The next volume in the popular Rose saga. Julia has just turned seventeen when she first meets Captain Charles Hamilton. A casualty of war he has lost all memory of his family or life before he heroically saved a soldier from the trenches. He has come to the home of Julia's parents, Philip and Jenny Allington, to recuperate and try to piece his past back together. Julia and Charles fall in love but it seems there are secrets in his past which cannot remain hidden for long, and soon Julia realises the man she married is more scarred than she could possibly have imagined. She becomes threatened, not only by the buried past, but by the passions and jealousies of those around her, and she can no longer be sure of who to trust. When tragedy strikes, Julia is left with her own reminders of the past, but she still dares to hope for happiness in the future...
