Description

She wants to do her part. He’s just trying to stay out of the stockade. Will two agents deep behind enemy lines find capture… or love?

Emily Strealer is tired of being told what she can’t do. Wanting to prove herself to her older sisters and do her part for the war effort, the high school French teacher joins the OSS and trains to become a covert operative. And when she completes her training, she finds herself parachuting into occupied France with her instructor to send radio signals to the Resistance.

Major Gerard Lucas has always been a rogue. Transferring to the so-called “Office of Dirty Tricks” to escape a court-martial, he poses as a husband to one of his trainees on a dangerous secret mission. But when their cover is blown after only three weeks, he has to flee with the young schoolteacher to avoid Nazi arrest.

Running for their lives, Emily clings to her mentor’s military experience during the harrowing three-hundred-mile trek to neutral Switzerland. And while Gerard can’t bear the thought of his partner falling into German hands, their forged papers might not be enough to get them over the border.

Can the fugitive pair receive God’s grace to elude the SS and discover the future He intended?

Spies & Sweethearts: A WWII Christian Romance is the first book in the gripping Sisters in Service historical romance series. If you like faith in motion, suspense in action, and devotion put to the test, you’ll adore Linda Shenton Matchett’s soaring story.

    Life can be tough when you are the youngest - somehow you never seem to measure up to your older siblings. Emily had excelled in school, becoming fluent in French, and working as a high school French teacher. But surely there was more that she could do for the war effort than be a plane spotter. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) agreed with her. Gerard had moved up the ranks in the military only to be pushed into an assignment he really did not want, but deserved due to insubordination. Now he was to go undercover as the husband of a former French high school teacher now radio operator. All he wanted was revenge for his brother’s death. Could they learn to work together, trusting God with their lives? What a fabulous story of survival, adventure and rescue by two spies sent from the US to France. The author has done a great deal of research into how the resistance worked during the war. Their willingness to step out and do what they could was a real eye-opener. I have to wonder if we would be available to do the same if we were in the same situation. This ARC was received through Shortwave Press, BookFunnel and CelebrateLit.
