Faced with losing the man she loves, Minnie must decide. Stay in her safe, glamourous world, or prove to Eric that she is capable of weathering any storm by his side.

France, 1916

In war and rebellion, all hope is lost... Or so thinks Ivy O'Halloran, a dedicated British army nurse stationed in a medical casualty clearing station near the Western Front. And no one is exempt from tragedy and sacrifice, not even her. Determined to push her tragic losses aside, the presence of newly arrived Australian doctor, Maurice Fletcher, draws her ire. But Maurice's levity masks losses and sentiments similar to her own and Ivy is forced to confront her growing feelings for him. Towards the end of the Battle of the Somme, and in their heart's darkest days, will tragedy strike once more for Ivy and Maurice, or will hope finally return?

But when a snowstorm cuts the hotel off from the outside world, twelve strangers are thrown together for a night that will change their lives forever.
