Samenvatting:

She's fallen into enemy territory. Can she find a way out?

Geraldine Fitz-Herbert might have grown up amidst the aristocracy and its endless matchmaking schemes, but she's never quite fit into that world. She'd much rather take to the skies, where she can truly be free.

As war breaks out, Fitz refuses to let societal conventions tie her down and volunteers at the Air Transport Auxiliary. But a chance encounter with charismatic American flight officer Sam Carter changes everything. While Fitz has always been focused on the job, Sam's lingering glances and roguish smile stir feelings she can't ignore. Before long, they're embarking on a passionate affair, introducing Fitz to a love unlike any she's known - until the harsh reality of war intervenes.

When Fitz's piloting and linguistic skills are discovered, she's sent on a top-secret mission to join the local resistance in Brittany. Brave and determined, she throws herself into the operation, only to face a terrifying German ambush upon arrival. Stranded alone in enemy territory, Fitz must rely on her wits and courage to find her way back to safety - and back to Sam.
