It is 1941 and America teeters on the brink of war.
Outgoing
naval officer Ensign Jim
Avery escorts British convoys across the North Atlantic in
a
brand-new destroyer, the
USS Atwood. Back on shore, Boston Navy Yard secretary Mary
Stirling does her work
quietly and efficiently, happy to be out of the limelight.
Yet, despite her reserved
nature, she never could back down from a challenge. When
evidence of sabotage on
the Atwood is found, Jim and Mary must work together to
uncover the culprit. A
bewildering maze of suspects emerges, and Mary is dismayed
to find that even
someone close to her is under suspicion. With the
increasing
pressure, Jim and Mary
find that many new challenges--and dangers--await them.
Sarah Sundin takes readers to the tense months before the
US
entered WWII. Readers
will encounter German U-boats and torpedoes, along with
the
explosive power of true
love, in this hopeful and romantic story.
