France, 1914 At the dawn of the First World War, the small village of Briecourt is isolated from the early battles while a century-old feud between the Toussaints and the de Colvilles still rages in the streets. But when the German army sweeps in to occupy the town, families on both sides of the feud are forced to work together to hide stragglers caught behind enemy lines. Julitte Toussaint may have been adopted from a faraway island, but she feels the scorn of the de Colvilles as much as anyone born a Toussaint. So when she falls in love with one of the men in hidingโa wealthy and handsome Belgian entrepreneurโshe knows sheโs flirting with danger. Charles Lassone has been waiting in the church cellar, safe from the Germans for the moment. But if heโs discovered, it will threaten the entire villageโincluding Julitteโand could cost Charles his life.
