About the book

Lincolnshire, England. May 1943: Grace Deroy’s family estate was requisitioned by the Air Ministry so she takes a job in the new cartography facility to protect what used to be her home, a small cog in the vast machinery of war. When the new American intelligence officer Jack Marsden arrives to work there, she has no idea he’s been sent to spy on her. 

Jack has little experience with espionage, but his real task is simple enough: get close to Grace to find out whether she is the one leaking Air Ministry secrets to the enemy. It should be a dream assignment, but Jack finds himself tongue-tied and awkward every time he comes in contact with his target––a sure sign that he’s falling in love.

Grace isn’t the Nazi sympathiser that MI5 suspects, but that doesn’t mean she’s got nothing to hide. When compromising stories about her start appearing in the press, Grace fears someone she trusts––someone working in her own home––is trying to expose her. Can she find out who before all the shameful secrets from her past are laid bare? And can she trust this quiet new American to help her work out who the real traitor is?
