Brilliant and headstrong, Adèle Roche is a Jewish-born Frenchwoman. She has a loving family, but they're taken from her when they are deported from their hide-out in an attic, and she becomes the only remaining survivor of her family after escaping the clutches of the Nazis. Then there's Michael Armbrüster. An SS officer, who spots the fiery red-haired Adèle when she is running away. He's enthralled, completely forgetting she is Jewish. What does he do? Take her in to his home, as a personal companion. He may have fallen in love with the poignant young Jewish woman, but that didn't stop him from taking out his ways on others when he needed to. He wasn't above it, until Adèle came into his life. What will make of these two? This couple that would never cross paths unless tested by the faith of God himself. Can man change for an enemy? Maybe, if he loves that enemy enough.

Phones, light typing...and murder. Think breaking into show business is hard? Try landing a temp job without office skills. That's the challenge facing aspiring actress Isobel Spice when she arrives in New York City, fresh out of college and deficient in PowerPoint. After being rejected by seven temp agencies for her lack of experience, Isobel sweet-talks recruiter James Cooke into letting her cover a last-minute vacancy at a bank. New to his own job, and recently sober, James takes a chance on Isobel, despite his suspicion that she's a trouble-magnet. His misgivings are borne out by lunchtime, when she stumbles across a dead secretary in a bathroom stall. Can Isobel find the killer before he strikes again?
