After a difficult childhood in the workhouse, never knowing her real family, and the horrors of the battlefields of the First World War, Annie has finally found her place in the world. With a thriving business, the love of her adopted family and a kind, generous fiancé in Monty, her future seems secure. Yet her heart cannot forget the questions that linger from her past - or the memory of Alex Gordon, the only man she has ever truly loved.

When long-buried secrets rise to the surface, Annie's carefully built world begins to crumble. Alone once more, she seizes her chance for a fresh start in London, determined to turn her talents into a flourishing new dress shop. Yet the past refuses to be silenced, and fate has one final twist in store: Alex's return. Torn between the safety of what she has built and the dangerous pull of the love she has never forgotten, Annie must decide where her true future lies. Will she finally find the answers she has been searching for - and the love she has always yearned for - or will heartbreak find her once more?

The Winter Bride is a powerful romantic saga of love, heartbreak, secrets and the search for belonging, from bestselling author Rosie Goodwin.
