Description
BOOK 3 OF THE “AMERICAN SPY SISTERS” NOVELS INSPIRED BY THE BRAVE U.S. WOMEN WHO FOUGHT THE NAZIS IN WW II
Brooke Bradley is headed for stardom in Hollywood when a whirlwind romance with a famous French film actor transports her to Paris just as the Nazis are storming her adopted country. Within months, the beautiful blonde with the amber eyes who speaks no French finds herself utterly alone and faced with a choice: collaborate and live comfortably with the invading enemy or join former journalist-turned-secret agent Christopher Laurent as an “Escape Helper” spiriting downed Allied fliers to safety to fly again another day.
Struggling to learn the language and French customs, Brooke is recruited by British intelligence to employ her skills as an actress to execute the Allies’ risky operations, even as she hides some shameful secrets of her own. At any point, the truths about her past mistakes threaten to jeopardize the lives of the pilots under her protection and send her and her fellow résistants to face a German firing squad.
With tragic losses mounting and wanted posters featuring publicity photos from her film days plastered everywhere, Brooke adopts a new identity to fight for the liberation of France in partnership with the only man she’s ever truly loved. But can they both survive as hope dims each day the brutal war endures?
New York Times & USA Today bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning former broadcast journalist Ciji Ware once again displays her extraordinary talent for weaving historical fact into mesmerizing fiction in this heart stopping romantic thriller.
