About this audiobook

Working in her father's chocolate factory, Kasia risks her life hiding notes vital to the Polish resistance in the carefully packaged boxes. The information tucked beneath the truffles is crucial to freeing her country and her family from the Nazis. But each recipe is sent out under the watchful eyes of her boss, Sebastian – the man who broke her heart. She has never reconciled the kind, sweet boy she once adored with the man now allied with the Germans. Yet the more time she spends around him, the more he seems to hint at sympathising with the resistance. The risk of revealing everything to him shrinks day by day. Until one coded message makes her fear for the lives of her mother and brother. On the factory floor with fellow resistance women, she can't let on what she knows. Her network has been betrayed. As she searches the faces of those closest to her for any sign of guilt, her eyes meet Sebastian's, full of care and concern. Kasia wonders if she can trust him with this deadly secret.
