Love and duty, codes and spies...
Kent, 1939
Soon to marry her childhood sweetheart, Eliza thinks her life is set. But when war breaks out, everything changes and, while helping the soldiers returning from Dunkirk, she bumps into Lewis, an unforgettable stranger from her past.
Eliza’s in-laws’ country home becomes a cell for code breakers receiving messages from the French Resistance, with Eliza as translator. When Lewis is assigned to head up the team, the pair fall dangerously in love. But with the enemy watching across the Channel and rumours of spies in their midst, Eliza is torn between passion and duty.
When Lewis flies across the Channel on a secret mission, Eliza wonders if she'll ever see him again. Can she live with the terrible secret they share?
A tear-jerking wartime romance for fans of Rachel Hore, Kathryn Hughes and Leah Fleming.
