Enlisted as a spy, Alix is sent to Europe where she must try and get close to a man who might be able to help the Allied forces – but there is also a chance he might be a double agent

1946

After the war, Alix moves to Paris where she is significant, in fact essential, in  helping House of Christian Dior launch its first major event. But Then a figure from her past reappears and threatens to destroy her whole future. How can Alix bring him to justice?

This immersive book takes one from war torn Switzerland to Dior and the golden age of French Fashion. There is also a moving love story included.
