As war rages, everyone has to do their bit...Bristol 1941 As the clouds of war grow bleaker both at home and abroad, the Tobacco Girls are determined to do their bit for King and Country. To that end Maisie Miles and Bridget Milligan become voluntary ambulance drivers. As well as coping with the frequent air raids, Maisie is kept on her toes with three new junior employees one of whom is particularly testing. Bridget's heart becomes torn between family loyalty and American tobacco tycoon Lyndon O'Neill III, the man she loves. Meanwhile Phyllis Harvey has joined the WAAF, opting to serve overseas whilst trying to escape her past. Her letters home are upbeat and her friends are initially envious of descriptions of sunshine and blue sea. The truth she hides is that life on the island of Malta is fraught with extreme food shortages, daily air raids and the fear that tomorrow might never come. The future appears far less certain as the reality of war bites into The Tobacco Girls' lives. 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin, bestselling author. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the door to a past of factory girls, redolent with life-affirming friendship, drama, and choices that are as relevant today as they were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an exciting, authentic historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller

Alongside this story of espionage and violence we meet Alan (Hooks) Jones, Bermuda ferryboat pilot and devoted family man. He makes friends with newly deployed Lieutenant Harley Harvey, call sign 'Swordfish'. We follow Swordfish as he falls in love with Hooks' daughter Becky, and so we learn of the difficulties endured in those days by an interracial couple striving to keep their relationship secret. Upon uncovering the truth about Captain Grant, Swordfish and Hooks embark on a nail-biting mission to bring him down. Their adventures leave Hooks famous on the Island and Swordfish a war hero. Triangle of Treason keeps us absorbed from beginning to end. By the time you have finished you will want to visit Bermuda.
