It is 1939, Britain is at war and Alex Wickham is on her way to London as a nursing volunteer. But her fluency in French and German draws the attention of another, more secret, branch of the service. Within a year, Alex is immersed in a new world, but she is forbidden to tell anyone about her work, not even the pilot she falls in love with. While her country and those dearest to her pay the terrible price of war, Alex learns the art of espionage, leading to life-and-death missions and a long career in exotic places and historic times. As her career progresses, the risks she must take bring her dangerously close to discovery. Can she keep her secrets hidden?
