PRE-ORDER the sweeping love story of a war veteran and the woman he thought he'd left behind, p****erfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Jojo Moyes.

Afghanistan, 2007. Carl meets Sarah, a nurse, at Camp Bastion and feels an instant connection with her. But when he discovers that she’s the childhood sweetheart of his fellow soldier, Danny, he vows to keep his distance. Little does he know how much she wishes he’d reach out. . .

After many gruelling months, Carl, Sarah and Danny make it home - now living miles apart, no longer in neighbouring tents. Honouring the lives of the friends he lost to war with a tattoo of six poppies, Carl vows never to forget their stories. Many miles away, Sarah tries to forget the man she swore to leave behind.

But Carl and Sarah are thrown back together, it’s clear that both of them are broken – and that the scars of what they went through together run deep. . .
