Author Valerie Baxter explores the life-and-death existence of partisans fighting in the French Resistance during World War II. Nicole du Bois, a young Anglo/French woman, sets out for France as a patriot to help the ever-decreasing Resistance. Her old family home in Blois becomes her base. The Chateau at Blois is occupied by the SS and the Gestapo, so Nicole ingratiates herself to a very handsome high-ranking SS Officer named Sigmund, in the hope she can glean more information to pass on to the Allies. Set in 1941, the novel tells of Nicole's bravery in France and Poland, and her unexpected romance with Sigmund. The story shows that some Germans involved in death camps were not cruel and unfeeling, and Sigmund was one of the very few who aided the enemy. Nicole's relationship results in a passionate affair between the two of them, marriage, and the union of two opposites becoming of like mind. Nicole's time as a resistance member enables her to save many lives, but it also causes her to commit murder and to make the ultimate sacrifice. This unforgettable war story honours brave and selfless people who overcame many obstacles ... with the help of love. Valerie Baxter was born on 15th March 1942 in Gravesend in Kent, England. Gravesend is situated on the River Thames and is where Princess Pocahontas is buried. She was inspired to write this story by the brave troops who have given their lives in Iraq, Afghanistan and, of course, the two World Wars. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/ValerieBaxter
