ABOUT THE BOOK
BOOK DETAILS
March 1940
A woman desperate for escape…
A skilled mechanic, Fliss Makepeace chafes under the suffocating expectations of her family and society. Ordered to abandon her beloved engines for a ‘woman’s job’ and pressured into a brutal marriage with the menacing Jake, Fliss feels trapped. But as the drums of war beat louder, she vows to serve King and Country rather than surrender to a life of quiet torment.
A chance to serve her country…
Joining the ATS offers Fliss not just a uniform, but freedom. Yet, a chance encounter with the formidable Major Stapleton propels her into an even deeper secret: a clandestine Women’s Army, poised to become the British Resistance should Hitler invade. For Fliss, it’s an undeniable call to duty—and a thrilling escape from her past.
And turn the tide of war?
When a vicious attack rocks the isolated compound, a chilling question echoes through the ranks: Is there a German spy in their midst?
