Rebel. Smuggler. Spy.
Champagne, France 1943
Meet Madame Rebelle. Edmee Guillon is a smuggler. She hides people from the German troops surrounding her ancestral home. When a dying man in a German uniform seeks refuge at Maison Boutet, Edmee struggles to believe his claims that he is French. Her life, the maison and the people she loves are already at stake. Can she take the chance that this mysterious spy is who he says he is? And which side of this war is he really on?
Christian Vovk has been betrayed by someone inside his resistance organization. He knows asking the striking young war widow to hide him will put her in certain danger. However, Christian can help Edmee save as many refugees as she can. Falling in love with her will hinder his duty to the operation that brought him to her doorstep in the first place. When love and duty become inevitably tangled, will Christian sacrifice one for the other?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I truly enjoyed this tale. It was not too overwhelming with historical details within the story to slow it down, but I did like the details after the story as to where information had come from. Edmee thought she was doing a good thing in helping people escape the Germans in France. She was very caring, trusting, and had a strength to survive the horrors around her. She had been sheltered but found ways to deal with the more harsh realities. Christian was an enigma, a spy or something else. His protectiveness of Edmee showed his true feelings for her. I loved how they worked together and trusted each other. They had their moments that had tears in my eyes, especially toward the end. A wonderful story.
I received a copy through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
