Synopsis

Against the simmering backdrop of impending war, blind virtuoso pianist Chaisley Frappier embarks on a concert tour through a rapidly changing Europe. When she learns that Hitler’s regime of injustice is targeting other disabled people, Chaisley realizes she is in a prime position to help those who are threatened reach safety. But the Führer’s growing fascination with the celebrated musician endangers her undercover mission and forces her to walk a tightrope between her fame and her calling.

When Rick Zimmerman receives his next assignment from the British Secret Intelligence Service, he is surprised to learn he’ll be acting as the personal driver of a world-renowned pianist as she tours Europe. The role gives him the perfect cover to complete missions of sabotage and intelligence-gathering, but he soon suspects the brilliant, alluring pianist has secrets of her own. As Chaisley and Rick confront evil at every turn, it will take every bit of faith and courage they possess to triumph over hate–and survive.

“A fast-paced action adventure with enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning the page.”–Tracie Peterson, bestselling author

“With compelling characters and high stakes, Kimberley Woodhouse tells a tale of hope triumphing in the darkest of times.”–Amy Lynn Green, author of The Codebreaker’s Daughter

This stand-alone historical romance of faith, hope, and justice will captivate readers who enjoy Sarah Sundin, World War II novels, and dramatic stories set in Europe.
