The Lett Family Trilogy

Turn back time with these captivating historical sagas. Includes all three books in The Lett Family Trilogy; One of the Family, Affairs of the Heat and Echoes of the Past.

One of the Family: Mary Owen is forced to seek work in order to support her elderly aunt. Catching the eye of Will, a young waiter at Letts restaurant, she strikes it lucky – Will is desperate to make her acquaintance and persuades the head chef to take Mary on in the kitchen. But it is not only Will who takes an interest in Mary. Henry Lett, son of the restaurant’s owner, is intrigued by Mary’s mysterious beauty and promotes her to an office job. But before he can make a move, his younger brother enters the scene. Charming, irresponsible Geoffrey, with film-star looks and money to burn, seems to have everything a girl on the brink of womanhood could desire. With three men vying for her attention, which will she choose?

Affairs of the Heart: Mary has been struggling since the death of her baby daughter. Her husband cannot understand why she finds it so difficult to let go of the memory of their child and seeks solace elsewhere. In an effort to forget his feelings for Mary, Henry Lett marries another woman. Meanwhile, Will considers marriage to be out of the question. When it becomes clear that Mary’s marriage has hit the rocks, both Henry and Will are presented with another chance at happiness, but are either of them able to take it?

Echoes of the Past: When Henry Lett dies, he leaves a restaurant that is far from thriving. His nephew, Edwin, is loath to see the once-famous Letts pass out of the family’s hands, and he persuades his aunt to sell her shares and give him a chance to get the restaurant back on its feet. As Edwin prepares to marry Helen, the lovely young daughter of restaurant manager, William Goodridge, it seems everything has fallen into place. But the flame of attraction between Helen and Hugh, Edwin’s cousin, simmers in the background. A fearful Will watches over the trio, waiting and wondering when to reveal a secret that will reopen old wounds…

An emotional and engaging saga series set in wartime London, perfect for fans of Rosie Harris, Maggie Hope and Katie Flynn.
