About this ebook

She wants to do her part. He’s just trying to stay out of the stockade. Will two agents deep behind enemy lines find capture… or love?

1942. Emily Strealer is tired of being told what she can’t do. Wanting to prove herself to her older sisters and do her part for the war effort, the high school French teacher joins the OSS and trains to become a covert operative. And when she completes her training, she finds herself parachuting into occupied France with her instructor to send radio signals to the Resistance.

Major Gerard Lucas has always been a rogue. Transferring to the so-called “Office of Dirty Tricks” to escape a court-martial, he poses as a husband to one of his trainees on a dangerous secret mission. But when their cover is blown after only three weeks, he has to flee with the young schoolteacher to avoid Nazi arrest.

Running for their lives, Emily clings to her mentor’s military experience during the harrowing three-hundred-mile trek to neutral Switzerland. And while Gerard can’t bear the thought of his partner falling into German hands, their forged papers might not be enough to get them over the border.

Can the fugitive pair receive God’s grace to elude the SS and discover the future He intended?

Spies & Sweethearts: A WWII Christian Romance is the first book in the gripping Sisters in Service historical romance series. If you like faith in motion, suspense in action, and devotion put to the test, you’ll adore Linda Shenton Matchett’s soaring story.

Suspenseful excellent WW2 Christian Romance. I highly recommend this wonderful well written book. Gerard & Emily are 2 highly trained agents who have to pretend to be a married couple, they get parachuted into France. She is a radio operator who only manages to send a few messages before they have to escape as they were about to be arrested. There are some kind people, priests and members of the French Resistance who help them along the way. There are many suspenseful moments which make this an excellent book. I love that God hears their prayers, sometimes in ways so unexpected. I enjoyed this book so much and now I am going to read the second book in the series by this great author about Emily's sister.
