Spanning continents, The Price of Desire is an emotionally rich, and an unflinchingly honest story of love, longing, and the consequences of choice.

From post‑war Manchester to the distant reaches of New Zealand, Rose’s real-life story unfolds through the many facets of her life, marriage, motherhood, friendship, passion, and heartbreak. Caught between duty and desire, stability and freedom, she discovers a love that changes everything yet threatens to unravel the life she has built.

This is not a conventional love story. It is a story about one woman’s resilience, the complexity of morality, the bonds between mothers and children, and the truths we carry long after the choices are made.

Tender, courageous, and profoundly human, The Price of Desire leaves you with a question many fear to face: If love changes you forever, what are you willing to pay?

'The Price of Desire' is a warm, compelling and moving story of marriage and motherhood, written with insightfulness and refection.'
