Summary
On a bitter February night in 1943, the discovery of an abandoned baby on the doorstep of Skeldale House turns Carmody’s quiet, predictable life upside down. With wartime services stretched beyond breaking and nowhere else for the infant to go, Carmody finds himself thrust into the role of caretaker - a responsibility that terrifies him but one that he cannot abandon.
As Tristan arrives on leave from his military duties, haunted by memories of Egypt, their growing closeness blossoms into something beautiful that Carmody could never have expected.
But as the war threatens separation yet again, Carmody must also face the painful truth of the infant's past and the desperate young mother who left her.
“Some families were born, others were made, and the best ones grew from the simple decision to love without reservation or condition.”

Summary
When Tristan lies about having a boyfriend to get his sister-in-law off his back, he accidentally describes his flatmate Richard - and panics into claiming Richard is brilliant at cricket, knowing his cricket-obsessed brother Siegfried will approve. Two phone calls later, they're somehow engaged and committed to spending a week with the family, which would be fine except Richard has never held a cricket bat in his life and thinks a "silly mid off" sounds like something Tristan just made up.
Terrified, Tristan tells himself it'll just be one week of pretending to be in love and dodging sports questions. He's completely unprepared for Audrey's excitement and Siegfried's determination to properly welcome Richard to the family.
"So let me get this straight. You told your sister-in-law that you and I are engaged. And now you want me to pretend to be your fiancé for an entire week. Meet your family. Convince them we're madly in love and planning to get married."
"When you put it like that, it sounds completely insane."

Summary
Carmody has been nursing feelings for Tristan for months, convinced that their growing closeness means something. But when he finds Tristan kissing someone else at a party, all his hopes come crashing down. In the garden of Mrs. Pumphrey's manor, the two men must finally be honest about their fears and feelings for each other.
"You work with me, you live in my world. There's no way to compartmentalise this, no way to pretend it doesn't matter if it goes wrong. I am terrified of having something real to lose though, Richard. With men like David, if they disappear, it doesn't break anything important. With you it would destroy me."
