Lana's War

About this book

From the bestselling author of The Light After the War comes a gripping and emotionally charged novel of espionage, sacrifice, and forbidden love on the glittering yet dangerous French Riviera during World War II.

Paris, 1943. Lana Antanova is hurrying through the streets to tell her husband they are finally going to have a child when her world is shattered in an instant. Before her eyes, a Gestapo officer executes her husband for helping hide a Jewish girl inside a piano. Overcome by grief and trauma, Lana loses both her husband and unborn baby in a single devastating day.

With nothing left to lose, Lana is recruited by the Resistance for a deadly mission on the French Riviera. As the daughter of a Russian countess, she can move effortlessly through the glamorous circles of exiled aristocrats and wealthy collaborators who entertain high-ranking Nazi officers along the Côte d’Azur — including the man responsible for her husband’s murder.

To maintain her cover, Lana must pose as the lover of Guy Pascal, a wealthy and enigmatic Swiss playboy whose charm conceals secrets of his own. Operating from his luxurious villa in Cap Ferrat, the pair become a formidable espionage team, risking their lives to smuggle information and protect innocent lives under the noses of the Nazis.

But Lana’s carefully controlled mission begins to unravel when she grows attached to a vulnerable Jewish girl in hiding — and when her fake relationship with Guy becomes something far more dangerous and real. As suspicion tightens around them and betrayal lurks everywhere, Lana must decide how much she is willing to risk for revenge, resistance, and love.

Atmospheric, heartbreaking, and impossible to put down, this unforgettable historical novel is a powerful story of courage, resilience, and the extraordinary acts of defiance born in the darkest moments of history.
