Under the Rose

eBook Re-issue Coming Soon!

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.
