Leaving his abandoned lavender fields behind, Luc joins the French Resistance in a quest for revenge. Paris, 1943 Lisette Forestier is on a mission: to work her way into the heart of a senior German officer, and to infiltrate the very masterminds of the Gestapo. But can she balance the line between love and lies? The one thing Luc and Lisette hadn't counted on was meeting each other. Who, if anyone, can be trusted - and will their own emotions become the greatest betrayers of all? Readers love The Lavender Keeper: 'A perfect read for me. The setting of Southern France is romantic and beautifully described and the book's two plots intertwine seamlessly ... a different and unexpected love story of a small but important part of the war effort in England and France' 'The story weaves its way through many twists and turns that made it difficult for me to put the book down' p>'Beautifully written and so meticulously researched, this gripping story of wartime France holds the reader's attention to the very end.
