The Chocolate Tin

In the muddy trenches of post-war France, Captain Harry Blakeney discovers a dead soldier clutching a love letter tucked inside a tin of York-made chocolates. His quest to find the mystery woman behind these haunting words leads him to Rowntree's chocolate factory--and straight into the carefully ordered world of Alexandra Frobisher.

In York, a city famous for its chocolate, Alexandra Frobisher dreams of forging her own path in the family-run confectionery business. But in a world where a woman's worth is measured by her marriage prospects, Alex faces mounting pressure to choose between several eligible suitors--none of whom stir her heart. When the charming and well-connected Matthew Britten-Jones begins to court her, Alex sees a chance for both security and status, even if love remains elusive.

But Harry's arrival threatens to unravel everything Alex and Matthew have planned. As three lives intertwine, long-buried secrets surface that could destroy them all. In a story as bittersweet as the finest chocolate, they must each decide what price they're willing to pay for love--and whether some gifts are too precious to ignore.

From the million-copy bestselling author, The Chocolate Tin weaves together the medieval splendour of York, the gritty aftermath of war, and the rich heritage of Britain's chocolate-making tradition in a compelling tale of love, ambition and the choices that define us. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah and Rhys Bowen.
