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.

She was born with a crown, raised in luxury, and known for her fire-bold, reckless, and anything but obedient. Princess Aurelia has never needed anyone to watch over her... until her defiance forces the king's hand. He is the kingdom's most trusted knight. Loyal, silent, deadly-and now, bound by duty to guard the one person who refuses to be guarded. He swore an oath to protect her, not love her. She swore she'd never let him in. But when shadows rise within the palace walls, and loyalty is tested beyond the blade, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. He carries a sword at her side, but never a crown on his head. Because some hearts are not meant to be held-only protected.

"Bitterness is unbecoming of a woman, but I cherish mine like the memory of first love. I see nothing in Leon Wagner, but an automaton. He is a machine of the Third Reich. I am surprised he even bleeds." In the summer of 1945, the world rejoices at the surrender of first Germany then Japan, but healing is a long time coming. Though they are not visible, Ruth Tucker's wounds run deep. Having worked as a nurse for the American Red Cross since the invasion of Normandy, Ruth's hatred for her country's former enemy runs deep. While stationed in Zell am See, Austria, she is assigned to nurse in a German POW camp. She meets a young Wehrmacht soldier, Leon Wagner, who speaks English and strives to spark a friendship with her. But Ruth's bitterness is almost too strong. All she sees in Leon is a heartless machine. Slowly, through a shared love of books and their families, she begins to recognize his humanity and starts to feel her own stir in her heart, something she thought long deadened by the months of violence.
