"don't you wish all spies could be so lovely?" Codenamed the Duchess of the Allies, Louisa Tallmadge is thrown into the midst of World War II as an Air Force pilot and a spy. Her husband Benjamin, is deeply in love with leather jackets, the American cause, and Louisa. With Benjamin as the head of US intelligence and Louisa his top spy, an ocean of separation between them and the constant dangers of being in enemy territory threaten to separate them forever. (a WWII spinoff of my book Of Wildflowers and Gunpowder, with a few of the same characters making appearances. Mostly because I wanted to experiment with Louisa and Ben in the 20th century, and a SEVERE lack of WWII books on here which stinks...ANYWAY GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR ANY INPUT)
