My rating: 💛💛💛💛
This WW2 plot set in Russia showed me a new side of the war I did not knew about. Add with that an American spy and a Russian widow turned sniper, there is suspense, anxiety, build up feelings and holding on to hope and faith for a better future.
I enjoyed going back in time with the characters we met in book one and colouring in the missing details to past events.

About the book:
A generational secret could change everything...
In war-torn Russia, love and espionage collide with devastating consequences.
Marina, widowed by the ruthless Third Reich, channels her grief into the fight for freedom. As a sharpshooter for the Russian partisans, she sabotages Nazi supply lines, driven by vengeance and a fierce desire for justice. Her mission is clear—avenge her husband's death and help defeat the invaders.
Edward Neumann, an OSS Agent from America, is haunted by his past mistakes in Poland, where his decisions led to the death of his team. Seeking redemption, he throws himself into the heart of the conflict, determined to make amends by aiding the Allied efforts. His path unexpectedly intertwines with Marina's, challenging his mission and his heart.
As Marina and Edward become entwined in each other's lives, the stakes escalate. Edward faces a critical choice—follow his heart and protect Marina, potentially jeopardizing his mission, or pursue redemption for his past, at the risk of losing her forever. Marina, with her own deadly secret, must decide how much she trusts Edward, as their enemies close in.
Will their burgeoning love be their salvation or their undoing? Can they navigate the treacherous waters of war without losing everything they hold dear?
"A gripping tale of courage, love, and betrayal, Susan May Warren's novel masterfully blends the harrowing suspense of war with the tender hope of love. Set against the brutal backdrop of WWII, this story captures the essence of human resilience and the indomitable spirit of those who fight not just for survival, but for love."
