Despite everything she's been told about the enemy, her heart won't let her turn away. Hiding him in the barn, she and her family nurse him back to health, forging an unlikely bond. As the days pass, her guarded heart begins to soften, and she soon finds herself questioning everything she once believed. </p><p>But in a world divided by war, love can be just as dangerous as the battlefield. When secrets become impossible to keep, Annabelle must choose between the life she's always known and the one her heart longs for.
