Om denne e-bog
A grieving novelist fleeing Nazi-occupied Paris is forced to go on the run with a mysterious stranger after he kills two German soldiers to save her life. Hunted across war-torn France by a relentless Wehrmacht detective, the pair must fight to survive — even as a dangerous passion grows between them.
Paris, 1941. As Nazi forces tighten their grip on occupied France, celebrated novelist Eleanor Gorton Clarke is left stranded and grieving after the death of her French lover in the invasion. With danger closing in around her, she joins the desperate flood of refugees fleeing south toward the Spanish border, carrying only a priceless first edition of Finnegans Wake and a cache of black-market cigarettes that may be her only hope of survival.
But Eleanor’s escape takes a deadly turn when a mysterious foreigner kills two German soldiers to save her life. Suddenly hunted by the Wehrmacht, Eleanor is forced into an uneasy alliance with the enigmatic stranger — a man fleeing his own haunted past in Nazi-controlled Austria and hiding secrets that could destroy them both.
Thrown together on a perilous journey across war-ravaged France, the pair clash at every turn. She is privileged, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent. He is guarded, dangerous, and impossible to trust. Yet as the manhunt intensifies and their enemies close in, suspicion gives way to an attraction neither can resist.
Pursued by a relentless German detective determined to capture them, Eleanor and her reluctant protector must risk everything to survive. But along the way, Eleanor discovers that the love she has written about all her life is far more complicated — and far more devastating — than she ever imagined.
Atmospheric, thrilling, and deeply romantic, this sweeping wartime novel combines the tension of a fugitive chase with the emotional power of an unforgettable love story set against one of history’s darkest moments
