Paris, 1943. I stare at Charlie across the crowded room. Working deep undercover, we're surrounded by Nazi high command. Slowly, he smiles at me and my breath catches. I have to trust him, or we're both dead...
As war rages across France, English exile Christine has become the most deadly asset the British Secret Service has in occupied Paris. But when Suzanne, her best friend and the sole agent who knows the details of the top-secret D-Day landings, is betrayed to the Nazis by someone at the heart of their spy network, she is devastated. Going undercover with Charlie - a handsome but elusive American spy with an agenda of his own - is her only chance to catch the traitor in their midst.
Pretending to be not only Nazi collaborators but lovers too, they must save Suzanne from almost certain death and prevent the D-Day landing plans from ending up in the wrong hands. But as Christine and Charlie's pretend desire turns to true love, her past - and the real reason she had to leave England forever - puts their whole mission in terrible danger.
With the Nazis closing in and Suzanne's life on the line, Christine is forced into one last, desperate act: heading back into deepest, darkest enemy territory, knowing her disguise could have been exposed. With even her trust in Charlie shaken, will Christine have to choose between her love for him, her best friend's life, and freedom for France? And who will pay the ultimate sacrifice...?
A totally compelling, page-turning historical novel of love, bravery and sacrifice in the darkest of times. Set in wartime Paris, this is an utterly gripping and tear-jerking read perfect for readers of Kate Quinn, Rhys Bowen and Mandy Robotham.
