Since her parents were killed in a bombing raid, Rose Teasdale has spent more hours than usual in Room 60, working double shifts, growing accustomed to the burnt scent of the Prime Minister's cigars permeating the stale air. Winning the war is the only thing that matters, and she will gladly do her part. And when Rose's fluency in French comes to the attention of Churchill himself, it brings a rare yet dangerous opportunity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rose is recruited for the Special Operations Executive, a secret British organization that conducts espionage in Nazi-occupied Europe. After weeks of grueling training, Rose parachutes into France with a new codename: Dragonfly.

Since his parents were sent to a German work camp, Lazare has dedicated himself to the cause with the same fervor as Rose. Yet Rose's very loyalty brings risks as she undertakes a high-stakes prison raid, and discovers how much she may have to sacrifice to justify Churchill's faith in her . . . \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A rousing historical novel.\" - \u003ci\u003eThe Akron Beacon Journal, \u003c\/i\u003e Best Books of the Year for \u003ci\u003eChurchill's Secret Messenger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Hlad \u003c\/b\u003eis the internationally bestselling author of historical fiction novels inspired by real people and events of WWI and WWII, including \u003ci\u003eThe Book Spy, Churchill's Secret Messenger, A Light Beyond the Trenches, \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eUSA Today \u003c\/i\u003eand IndieBound bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Long Flight Home. \u003c\/i\u003eA member of the Historical Novel Society, Literary Cleveland, Novelitics, and the Akron Writers' Group, he is a frequent speaker at conferences, literary events, and book club gatherings.
