Alexandra Frobisher dreams of a career in England's famous chocolate-making town of York. She has received several proposals of marriage, although none of them promises that elusive extra - love. Matthew Britten-Jones is a man of charm and strong social standing. He impresses Alex with his wit and intelligence, but would an amicable union be enough for a fulfilling life together? At the end of the war, Captain Harry Blakeney discovers a dead soldier in a trench in France. In the man's possession is a secret love note, tucked inside a tin of chocolate. When he travels to Rowntree's chocolate factory in England's north, his life becomes inextricably bound with Alexandra and Matthew's, unlocking secrets of the past and gifts for the future.
