Spare Brides by Adele Parks
The 1920s: a time of hope, promise - and parties. But not all the men came home, after The War. Meet the spare brides. Young, gorgeous - and unexpectedly alone. Ava relishes the freedom of being single. Sarah fears no one can replace her hero husband. Beatrice finds it hard to shine, next to her dazzling friends. And Lydia is married, rich, privileged: so isn't she one of the lucky ones? Then a chance encounter changes everything. Angry, damaged and dangerously attractive, Edgar Trent is an irresistible temptation. And the old rules no longer apply...There are some seriously fab frocks in Adele Parks' latest novel.
