Former British Army Lieutenant Adam Merryweather survived the Western Front of WWI and has slowly recovered from his injuries. But can he heal from a broken heart? Torn between family duty and personal happiness, he sacrificed his love for Alf and has never ceased to regret it in the two years since the war ended. Adam is slowly putting his empty life back together, working for the family firm in the city centre of Bristol and trying to stop his mother’s meddling to find him the perfect socially acceptable bride. When he happens to meet Alf out of the blue, Adam is determined to try again. But convincing Alf to give him another chance may be too much to hope for. Can a chance meeting bring them back together? Or has Adam lost another chance for love forever?

Another Chance for Love

He realised now that he had detached one part of his life from the other so successfully that it genuinely had not occurred to him to tell Alf about Delia. Firstly, there was nothing really to tell. And frankly, it didn’t seem real.


For Alf to find out in such a hurtful way, so that he had thought that Adam had deceived him and had been unfaithful was unbearable. But what could he expect him to think? Stupid, stupid, stupid


He knew Cat had valiantly tried to explain the truth of the matter at the time, but who would understand the strange workings of the Merryweather household if they were not closely related to them? It would seem simply bizarre or a pathetically lame excuse.
