Thanks so much for coming by. If you like sapphic fiction with strong women, deep plots, and a literary feel, you’re in the right place. I’m E.V. Bancroft, and I’m here to tell you a story…
First love. Second chance.
Last hope.
Florence Cooper has spent most of her life caring for her niece, Cam Langley. Now she shares a house with her niece and Cam’s beautiful girlfriend, Gloria Edwards, but at fifty-five, arthritis is slowing Florrie’s body and solitude is settling on her soul.
On Gloria’s graduation day, a chance meeting with the woman who broke Florrie’s heart over thirty years ago throws chaos and confusion into her life, forcing her to take a trip down memory lane into 1920s literary London.
Old wounds reopen and long-buried feelings reignite, pulling Florrie into a life she thought long-drowned. Standing once more on the edge of uncertainty, Florrie must decide: dive into the ocean of possibilities or swim for the safety of the shore.

My sapphic book of the year!
I really enjoyed this book and could easily have consumed it in one sitting – but I decided to save something for later!
I like a book with arresting, believable characters and engaging story lines. There are plenty of those here.

A love story that lasts a lifetime
A rare treat.
— Tania Almond
All hail the historical fiction queen!
I absolutely loved ‘Encrypted Hearts’ so to get more of the history of the characters from that was a delight and i ate it up! This is a love story full of longing, discovery, heartbreak and forgiveness.

Cam Langley, a sharp-witted codebreaker at Bletchley Park, dresses like a man and makes no secret of who she is. Gloria Edwards, eager to escape her domineering father, joins the war effort and is quickly drawn into Cam’s orbit.
Cam feels an immediate attraction, while Gloria is caught off guard, having only ever been with men. As they work closely together, their connection deepens, but a spy within Bletchley threatens to destroy everything.
Can they survive the chaos of war, or will secrets tear them apart?

It’s so great to meet you. I’m a retired accountant who loves writing about women loving women. I live in the south of England and love to travel, dance, and spend time with friends.
