A Flame Unburned · A heart-wrenching coming-of-age love story packed full of heartbreak and hope (The Three Great Loves of Victoria Turnbull Book 1)

A hidden secret, an unforgivable betrayal, one all-consuming passion

England, 1994. Victoria Turnbull is a naïve and impressionable young woman desperately searching for something more, and believing her housemate’s brother is the key to unlocking that elusive utopia; when Chris arrives from New Zealand and seduces her—Vicky falls hard.

But she’s soon trapped by a hidden secret. And when she discovers Chris’s passion is matched by an equally hot-headed temper—she’s forced to make unimaginable choices. But how much will she sacrifice?

Her friendships?

Her unborn child?

The authority over her own body?

Can she forgive her past, before Chris pushes her too far, or before dark truths unravel, destroying any chance of them ever truly loving one another?

Twisting turning around the globe, from the historic English Countryside to the breathtaking vistas of New Zealand; via the scorching hot sun of the Greek Islands, the contradictions of Hong Kong and the furore of London, this fearless coming-of-age love story—the first in ‘The Three Great Loves of Victoria Turnbull’ trilogy from new writer Isabella Wiles—is a story about discovering the most important love of all. The love for oneself—even when you’re flawed.

A perfect read for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert, Jodi Picoult Colleen Hoover's 'It Ends With Us'.
