The Resistance Wife: A gripping, heartbreaking World War Two historical fiction

Germany, 1934: Anna’s wedding night turns chilling as her husband reveals his devotion to Hitler. Fearing the man she’s married, she dreams of escape.

Six years later, Anna finds herself in war-torn Warsaw, running a spy network behind the façade of a café for enemy soldiers. Haunted by memories of her Nazi husband, she’s drawn to the Polish resistance—and to Mateusz, a kind doctor who offers hope and warmth in the darkness.

Just as Anna imagines a future with Mateusz and freedom for her country, her past catches up with her—her husband has found her. Now, she must masquerade as his wife once more to gather vital information. Can she spy on her own husband without losing her nerve? And with an enemy officer watching her every move, can she shield Mateusz, the man truly she loves, from danger?

Fans of heart-pounding, suspense-filled WWII novels like "The Nightingale" and "The Alice Network" will be swept away by this powerful, emotional saga of resistance, romance, and sacrifice.
