German children wanted by the Nazis An American teacher who wants no romantic entanglements An American businessman who loves them all
The world is on the brink of war. The Nazis are threatening Poland, but American teacher Irena Simmons refuses to flee. She won’t leave her teaching ministry, the little German boys she whisked to safety the year before, or her ailing pregnant sister who cannot travel. American shipping magnate and former classmate, Jonathan Huntwell, surprises Irena in Lvov and insists she leave with him before the war begins. But nothing will interfere with her work—especially a man making demands.
Although honor-bound to aid any friend in trouble, Jonathan considers Irena more than an obligation. As danger closes in, the woman he once cared for reignites unexpected inner turmoil in him, but he won’t share his heart for fear of driving her away.
Irena discovers the Gestapo agent she successfully evaded in Germany has found her in Poland, and he’s intent on snatching her young charges. After the Germans invade, the rising danger threatens everything Irena holds dear, and she must find a way to protect those she loves.
A gripping storyline of adventure with engaging characters and awe-inspiring inspirational themes. Fans of Sarah Sundin and Lynn Austin will love this book.
“I would give it 10 stars if I could. You really fall in love with the characters. This book has it all: history, suspense, and romance. I can't wait for the next book.” ~ Amazon reviewer
