Description

As the Nazis' relentless bombs fall during the Blitz of Coventry, six-year-old Rose Sherbourne finds herself orphaned and placed in the care of a Cornish farmer's daughter, Elenor Cardew.

Elenor knows that the only way to protect spirited Rose is to leave the city and build a new life together, away from harm. But soon Elenor discovers that Hitler's firestorm is not the only thing she must fear when she learns a devastating secret about Rose.

With Rose's life in imminent danger, Elenor turns to the only person she can trust to keep the deadly secret: heroic Canadian pilot Jackson St John. Amid the destruction of war, an unlikely romance blossoms as they find a way to protect the child they have both grown to love—and each other.
