From the publisher:
In 1944, American naval officer Lt. Wyatt Paxton arrives in London to prepare for the Allied invasion of France. He works closely with Dorothy Fairfax, a "Wren" in the Women's Royal Naval Service. Dorothy pieces together reconnaissance photographs with thousands of holiday snapshots of France--including those of her own family's summer home--in order to create accurate maps of Normandy. Maps that Wyatt will turn into naval bombardment plans.
As the two spend concentrated time together in the pressure cooker of war, their deepening friendship threatens to turn to love. Dorothy must resist its pull. Her bereaved father depends on her, and her heart already belongs to another man. Wyatt too has much to lose. The closer he gets to Dorothy, the more he fears his efforts to win the war will destroy everything she has ever loved.
The tense days leading up to the monumental D-Day landing blaze to life under Sarah Sundin's practiced pen with this powerful new series.

With each book by Sarah Sundin I feel I am more well educated on the time periods she writes about. This is the first book in her new series and what an amazing start!
I love the details of the Wrens and their jobs as the Allies prepared for D-Day. I had never known all the work that went behind D-Day. It is fascinating to learn those details. And what makes the details interesting is the way they are woven into a story.
The story of Dorothy and Wyatt is interesting not just because of the time they are in, but because of their relationship as friends grows into more and as they both need to trust and realize what is important.
I love the added family dynamics from both Dorothy and Wyatt. I can't wait to read more about Wyatt's brothers.
I received this book from the publishers. All opinions are my own.
