The Lavender Keeper - Paperback

by Fiona McIntosh (Author)

She lied for her country. He fought for his family. They fell for each other.

Provence, 1942: Luc Bonet has spent his life among the lavender fields of the French Alps, raised from childhood by the Jewish family who gave him a home, a name, and a future. When Nazi soldiers seize everything and his loved ones begin to disappear, Luc abandons it all to join the French Resistance. Later, as a maquisard, living in the hills, he is given an important mission to guide and keep safe a beautiful English spy across occupied France.

Paris, 1943: Lisette Forestier has already sacrificed more than anyone knows. Her mission: seduce a senior German colonel and infiltrate the Gestapo from within. Meeting Luc gives her confidence to succeed. Every smile is calculated. Every word could be her last. But Colonel Kilian is not the monster she expected - and her feelings are becoming unnervingly real.

Caught between two men she loves - one her enemy, one her ally - Lisette walks a tightrope where a single misstep means death. As a Nazi assassination plot unfolds, she must decide what she's willing to betray: her country, her heart, or herself.

From million-copy bestselling author Fiona McIntosh comes The Lavender Keeper - a heart-stopping tale of desire and danger. For fans of The Alice Network and The Nightingale.
