Summary:
"1942. World War II is in full swing when Odette Sansom decides to follow in her father's footsteps by becoming an SOE agent to aid Britain and her beloved homeland, France. After five failed landing attempts she arrives in occupied France and meets her commanding officer, Captain Peter Churchill. As their forged bond of trust gives way to love, they are hunted by Germany's top spy-catcher, relentless Hugo Bleicher. Captured, sent to Paris's Fresnes Prison, starved, beaten, and tortured, the two never give up their colleagues, their hope, or their love for each other." -- Adapted from jacket.
