Synopsis

Two stories, two couples, two eras, timeless emotions.


This Ground Which Was Secured At Great Expense:

    It is 1914 and The Great War is underway. When the call to arms comes, Nicholas Southwell won’t be found hanging back. It’s a pity he can’t be so decisive when it comes to letting his estate manager Paul Haskell know what he feels before he has to leave for the front line. In the trenches Nicholas meets a fellow officer, Phillip Taylor, who takes him into the unclaimed territory of physical love. Which one will he choose, if he’s allowed the choice?

The Case of the Overprotective Ass:

    Stars of the silver screen Alasdair Hamilton and Toby Bowe are wowing the post WWII audiences with their depictions of Holmes and Watson. When they are asked by a friend to investigate a mysterious disappearance, they jump at the chance — surely detection can’t be that hard? But a series of threatening letters — and an unwanted suitor — make real life very different from the movies.

Charlie Cochrane, author of the delightful Cambridge Fellows series, brings her familiar romantic, roguish style to the two novellas that together are Home Fires Burning.


Reviews

“Absolutely marvellous read–please do not miss this one. I can only hold my breath to see where Cochrane goes next.”

• Snippet is in reference to This Ground Which Was Secured at Great Expense

“I really am not able to say what is the more romantic between the two novellas, as I said they are very different; maybe the first one has a little more bittersweet aftertaste, while instead Alistair and Toby’s story is sparkling, a good parallelism is dark red wine against champagne... you can appreciate both, but not compare them.”

“For those who've never read anything by this author before, then this would be a great opportunity to see what you've been missing!”

“... it was a delightful read and highly recommended.”
