But when a routine mission turns deadly, a mysterious German agent becomes her unlikely savior.
Plunged into a dangerous game of deception, Marie relies on her acting talent to pass false information to the Nazis. Yet the line between duty and loyalty blurs when the German agent is imprisoned in a Florida POW camp with Axis soldiers who consider him a traitor. Marie embarks on a desperate mission to save him before he’s fatally injured.
In a postwar world still reeling from conflict, the couple’s lives are again threatened by a past enemy. Will they ever find the peace they crave? Or will the echoes of war destroy them?
Plummet into a heart-wrenching tale of courage, treachery, and a love that defies all odds.

MY THOUGHTS.....
"We may have different names now, but you'll always be my Sparrow."
I was thrilled for a chance to read Johnnie Alexander's new book but I didn't know just how special this story would be! The characters experience pain, loss, and betrayal but they're still able to endure World War II, one of the most tumultuous times in history. Espionage is rampant and the intrigue is non-ending but there's also a chance that Marie Wyatt may even find her soul mate. Danger prevails, so how will her story end?
This is an engaging tale with endearing but fallible characters who often baffled me by their actions! I couldn't read fast enough to discover the destiny of this young woman who learned her ABCs in her home in the Southern hills of Ohio but ended up as an actress and spy in England and France in 1944. Much of the story is set during the years during and following WWII but I especially loved the emotional connection that developed between Marie and a young woman that she met by chance in 1997. If you're looking for a page-turning and thought-provoking story filled with history, suspense, and romance, grab a copy of When Memory Whispers! It's a companion to Where Treasures Lies but can be considered a standalone.
I received a digital copy from the author. There was no expectation of a positive review.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
