About the Book
May 1915. After tragedy strikes during the Second Battle of Artois, Frenchman Julian Olivier will do anything to get out of the trenches. So when British Intelligence recruits him to spy behind enemy lines, he jumps at the opportunity. Just before he begins, however, he has a chance encounter with a young French woman who leaves his heart marked for the remainder of the war—even if he doesn’t know her name.
Warren Flynn is a Canadian airborne hero, and dogfights with the Germans are all in a day’s work. Second only to his love of flying is his fascination with Claire Donovan, the daughter of an American munitions manufacturer living in Paris. Warren flies Julian into Germany and soon receives orders to post the Allies’ newest operative—an attractive peasant woman named Evette—in Claire’s home. As a dangerous ring of spies and saboteurs threatens to turn the war against the Allies, Julian discovers goodness in his enemies’ hearts. But even if he survives, will he ever be reunited with the woman whose memory he can’t erase? Will Warren survive the war, and will Evette unearth the infiltrator in her own territory before it’s too late?

A world war is raging and a dangerous spy ring and group of saboteurs must be torn apart before their threat to the Allies takes place. And amidst it all, there is a bit of romance too! Although it took me a little bit to get into the novel, I love how the author draws readers in by telling the story through the different perspectives of multiple characters. This helps bring a more well-rounded view to what was taking place during WWI. There are also several plot twists that will keep readers hooked! This time of history greatly fascinates me, so it was exciting to read a new author and to see how her novel developed. I would recommend this novel to readers that enjoy historical fiction and WWI books.
