In 1943, in occupied northern France, Jonnie and Monique's perfect life is shattered by a mission he can not refuse. It means their separation but does it guarantee her safety?

Jonnie, a former soldier and Monique, a former nurse live together in Northern France in 1943. They live very remotely and are very much in love. They do live under a shadow though. They are scared that the British will activate Jonnie for a mission and they are scared the Germans will find them as Monique is Jewish. Their worst nightmares are realised when a combination of the two force them to separate and Jonnie accepts a dangerous mission. Will he succeed? Will they see each other again?—Graham Birch

In the midst of the brutal conflict of 1943, Jonnie, a disillusioned former British soldier, and Monique, a Jewish nurse in hiding, share a fragile peace in the remote countryside of Northern France. Their love is a rare sanctuary in a world ravaged by war, but the looming threats of discovery by German forces and Jonnie's potential reactivation into British covert operations cast a constant shadow over their lives. When their fears converge in a devastating turn of events, Jonnie is torn away from Monique to embark on a perilous mission behind enemy lines. As the war tightens its grip, both must confront impossible odds-Jonnie, in a dangerous operation, and Monique, battling for survival. Their futures, and their love, hang in the balance. Will they be reunited, or will the war tear them apart forever?—Graham Birch, Marek Lichtenberg
