Yorkshire 1941Bravery is another word for endurance; love is another word for sacrifice.A German fighter plane is shot down over rural Yorkshire; the pilot has vanished.In an old farmhouse on the outskirts of Leeds, war-widow Jessica is raising her children and running a small dairy. When she encounters the Luftwaffe pilot hiding in her barn, she realises the young captain is dangerously ill. Despite the consequences, Jessica commits to nursing him back to health.At first, prejudice and ignorance separate Jessica and Anton, but slowly these barriers are dismantled. From an unlikely friendship emerges a story of forbidden love that defies war and bigotry. Meanwhile, a British government investigator is sent to hunt and capture the fugitive German. Harbouring the enemy is among the greatest of crimes, and when suspicion falls on Jessica, a series of terrifying events are triggered, threatening her freedom and the security of her children.In this world at war, there are no winners. It is a time of fear and uncertainty, where danger lurks behind every door and sometimes the greatest threats come from those you trust.

When Alexandra first meets Patrick, her handsome and enigmatic step-brother, he tears apart the fabric of her quiet world...So begins the epic love story that had fans of Torn gripping their seats.But there's another side to the story, a darker side: Patrick's side.Welcome to a world of lust, decadence and violence.Counterpoint is a re-telling of Torn, told in Patrick's own words, and by those closest to him.As Torn ushers readers into the very proper parlours of Regency England, where young ladies live within the bounds of the social restraints of their time, Counterpoint thrusts readers onto a rollicking ride through a clandestine world of wealth, privilege and dark passions.In glittering ballrooms, sordid London backstreets and bloodied battlefields, Patrick Washburn comes of age in a time of licentiousness, when profligate young men live life for the moment, with no restraint and no regrets. "e;Counterpoint could well be a truer reflection of the way people lived in Regency England than we've become used to, and make no mistake: Patrick is definitely no Mr Darcy."e; Leanne, Manchester, UK
