Love Nordic Noir? Now try Nordic Romance After a long-distance love affair, Kaisa marries her handsome Englishman, Navy officer Peter, and moves to the UK from Finland. But with her husband away at sea, the desperately lonely Kaisa does something unforgivable, which jeopardises Peter's Navy career. Wracked with guilt, Kaisa flees to her native Finland, where she's welcomed with open arms by family and friends. Back in London, a chance meeting at a rooftop party sees the two ex-lovers steal a passionate kiss. But Peter has a new girlfriend, and Kaisa's career in journalism is finally taking off. Will they overcome the past, and the challenges of the future, and give their marriage another chance? Can they love each other again? A standalone read, The Good Officer is the third novel in The Englishman series, which follows the tumultuous 1980s love affair between the Finnish-born Kaisa and a British Navy officer, Peter. In praise of 'The Englishman' series: "THE FINNISH GIRL is wonderfully intimate and honest, the characters feel real and you can almost smell the sea air of Helsinki." - Pauliina Stahlberg, Director of the Finnish Institute in London. "THE ENGLISHMAN is subtitled 'Can love go the distance?' and it is quite the page-turner. I had difficulty stopping myself from devouring it in one go." - Tania Hershman, author, poet, curator of ShortStops and writer in residence at Bristol University. "No plot spoilers here, but I will say that in THE NAVY WIFE, Helena Halme keeps us on tenterhooks right to the last minute, as Kaisa encounters numerous obstacles, including controversial friendships and temptations. - Debbie Young, Author and Book blogger."
