It takes one knock at the door to rip Poppy's world apart. Mart has been taken hostage, and it's too dangerous for the army to rescue him.

Poppy is determined to bring him home herself. But her journey will lead her to a heartbreaking dilemma. What price will she pay to save the man she loves?

This is a gripping story of loss and courage from an author who knows what it is like to be the one left behind.

About the Author

Amanda Prowse is a multi-million bestselling author who has published more than thirty novels and is one of the most prolific writers of contemporary fiction in the UK today. Crowned โ€˜the queen of family dramaโ€™ by the Daily Mail, she writes about lifeโ€™s challengesโ€”from heartbreak and loss to dysfunctional family dynamicsโ€”but also about the pockets of delight that can be found in our relationships with others, often when we need them most. Amanda is known for her relatable characters, emotionally compelling plots, and the sense of connection that readers feel with her stories. She is an ambassador for The Reading Agency and feels passionately about supporting other women, spending as much time as possible outdoors (preferably by the sea!) and her family.
