From the drawing rooms of the upper echelons of French aristocracy, to a repository for looted treasures, through the sewers of Paris, and along the ramparts of a chateau in the Loire Valley, the unlikeliest of spies is pursued by an SS colonel with a sinister desire to possess her, body and soul, and to gain control of her family fortune. Passion, intrigue and betrayal simmer beneath the surface in this deadly battle of wits in which shy young Danielle Delacroix is thrust into the machinations of the greatest plunder in history and must escape the Nazi colonel's ruthless hold or perish in the trying.
"...during the darkest days of World War II, Under The Rose by Jacqueline Pelham is the riveting story of Danielle Delacroix, a female French aristocrat and her struggle to keep her body, her soul, and her family's artistic treasures safe from the ruthless plunder of the Nazis. Under The Rose is highly recommended as an intense and passionate saga fairly brimming with emotion, blood, betrayal, as one woman strives to preserve works of history and beauty."
