RARE HARDCOVER VERSION - Eternal Flame (Hardcover, 245 pages) by Rochelle Jones

In this haunting novel, Rochelle Jones intertwines the lives of two women separated by nearly a century yet bound by a fate neither can see.

In the nineteenth century, Alice dreams of escaping farm life on the Ashwood estate for a position at Ashwood Hall. When she falls in love with Bobby, a young farm hand, the future seems bright. But a fateful encounter with Lord Ross and Bobby’s sudden disappearance set Alice on a path shaped by loss, longing and a past she cannot release. Convinced she will one day be reunited with the man she loved, Alice lets the years slip by, blind to the lives around her.

In 1960s London, Charlotte drifts through her quiet days until a stranger walks into the shop where she works — and she becomes certain they are destined to be together. Philip, however, is married and feels no such connection. When a mysterious woman warns Charlotte that her obsession echoes a tragic past life, Charlotte faces a choice: repeat the sorrow of another lifetime or break free from the pull of history.

A story of love, longing and the unseen ties between lives, this novel explores how the past can shape the present — and how destiny offers second chances, if we are brave enough to take them.
