Winter, 1942.
Secrets abound for the Home Front Nurses, but will one of them be able to tell the truth about her past before Christmas?
As the weather turns cold, and the war rages on, Veronica Campbell finds herself loving her job as a home front nurse more than ever. She's spending time with her beloved best friends Sylvia and Freda, as well as assisting on life-saving operations with her fellow nurse Betty Wilson, and feeling valued and happy.
But at home, she wishes things were different. Because even cosied up by the fireside of her lovely little house, there's a man who lives on her street. Someone she'd once thought she could trust, who - five years ago - had violently attacked her. His threats to her remain, but she's been terrified into silence.
But everything changes when Betty needs somewhere to stay for Christmas, and Veronica impulsively suggests she move in with her. But can she trust Betty enough to let her guard down and tell her what happened that fateful day? Because if she doesn't, they could both be at risk?
