The war had broken into everyone's lives. From the glittering ballrooms and drawing rooms of the English aristocracy to the offices and shops where ordinary people carried on with extraordinary courage--they were a people under siege. Faith and hope were their only refuge.

Rumors buzzed through Britain's Special Operations division. The Gestapo had captured a top British agent in France, and the remaining members of the undercover cell were in hiding. As a result, the agency had cancelled all further parachute drops into that area, including Katharine's. She felt deep frustration after training for so long to work as a courier for the French resistance.

It was just one more disappointment in her difficult young life. Just one more thing that had been taken away by a war that had brought her the darkest hours she's ever known.

When the British agent escapes from his captors, the entire division celebrates, knowing their war efforts can continue. When he turns up in Britain at a dance, Katharine is shocked. The famous agent is actually the dashing army officer she'd met on a train several months before--and could not get out of her mind.

Their eyes meet. She realizes he has not forgotten her.... And in that moment, hope marks her heart. But will the war threaten this dream as well?

A dramatic story of love and family ties in war-torn Europe.
