March 1943. Young Breda Hanney is on the brink of becoming a married woman. She is about to tie the knot with childhood sweetheart, Warren Pascoe, in the small Cornish village of Penbole. Warren isn?t around to witness the preparations in the days leading up to the wedding, because in wartime Britain, all young able-bodied men are needed to fight for the king and the country and he is with the Navy. As long as he arrives on time for the big dy, however, Breda will be happy. With just days to go, Breda?s happiness is shattered by the arrival of a dreaded yellow telegram. Warren?s ship has sunk and her beloved fiancé has been killed in the action. The wedding ceremony she has dreamt of for so long must be changed to a memorial service. Distraught with grief, Breda feels cheated by fate - she won?t ever be a bride. She isn?t even a widow. She?s nothing without Warren and she vows never to fall in love again. But life takes a turn and the arrival of Warren?s cousin Max brings her out of herself. She has a second chance for love, is she willing to take it?
