German-occupied Brussels, Belgium
Great War, 1914
British Red Cross nurse Maria Hunt lives in daily fear that the Germans will uncover her secret: she helps wounded British soldiers escape.
Lieutenant John Bennet is wounded and running out of options. Trapped behind enemy lines while collecting intelligence, he needs to get out of Belgium if he’s going to escape with the information and his life.
Maria is devoted to her patients and her cause, but something else compels her to risk her life for this soldier. While a man of Lieutenant Bennet’s station would barely speak to her in other circumstances, something in his kind eyes inspires a passion deep within her.
As his injuries worsen, can Maria find the courage to guide him through the war-torn countryside? And should they make it back to England, will their burgeoning desire survive the ravages of war?
Reviews
“Effectively recreates the wartime setting…in a stirring story.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Wow.. What a powerful read in such a small package. Class wars combined with a real war make for a tense read but even though the love story comes to fruition quickly under the pressures of war it is believable. I loved the main pair and seeing how two people who should not find love find such a wonderful thing was heartwarming.” – 4 star review from Book-A-Holic Anon
