Maddie Brady is overwhelmed with relief to see a brave soul ahead of her rescue a little boy trapped among the landmines on the beach. But thanking the man, Maddie is shocked to hear a German accent. Why would an escaped German prisoner of war rescue an English boy? As a driver in the Army, Maddie is duty-bound to report Rudi immediately. But when he speaks of his home in a sheltered valley destroyed by Nazis, and how his father was killed for objecting to the war, Maddie feels a deep connection to this lost soul with sparkling blue eyes. With Rudi hiding out in a farmer's barn, Maddie can't keep herself away, smuggling him bread and water. Their passion brings them comfort in the darkest days. But as their love grows, so does the terrible danger of discovery... As her colleagues begin to suspect she's hiding something, Maddie is torn between loyalty to her country, and the man she's shared everything with. Helping Rudi flee across the desolate countryside would mean being parted forever - and if he's captured, he may not even survive. But could she bear to betray her soulmate? As the war tears the world apart, will they survive the impossible - or will their secret love only bring them despair? An absolutely heartbreaking and unforgettable World War Two story of how the power of love can get us through the darkest days.
