Originally published in the USA Today bestselling The Darkest Hour anthology, this gripping tale of resistance, suspense, and love is now a standalone book.
1940: Paris under Nazi occupation.
When the Germans invade France, twenty-one-year-old Nathalie Fontaine is living a quiet life in rural Southwest France. Within months, she heads for Paris and joins the Resistance as a courier helping to organize escape routes. But Paris is fraught with danger. When several escapes are foiled by the Gestapo, the network suspects they are compromised.
Nathalie suspects one person. But when a chance encounter with a stranger provides an opportunity to make a little extra money by working as a model for a Nazi-sympathizing couturier, her suspicions are thrown into doubt.
Using her work in the fashionable rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Nathalie uncovers information vital to the network, but at the same time steps into a world of treachery and betrayal which threatens to bring them all undone.
Time is running out, and the Gestapo is closing in.
