I've been so excited to reveal the cover of The Maid's Secret . This story is so unique and I'm in love with these characters! I can't wait to share it with you!
About the book:
Czechoslovakia, 1942: “Please don’t take him,” I plead to the Nazis.
“I love you, Mila,” Ben says, hoarsely. “So much. Forever.”
“Ben!” I shout as the soldiers pull him away, my heart thudding. “I love you. Please, come back.” I’m screaming at the top of my lungs as the world turns black around me.
In the mountains of Bohemia,
Mila
, a Romani, works as a maid for an aristocratic Jewish family. They have no idea that she and their son
Ben
, with his amber eyes and kind smile, are madly in love—it is expressly forbidden.
In the arms of one another, Mila and Ben try to forget that their village is close to the German borders—and could be invaded at any second. But as they huddle around a crackling radio, ice runs through their veins as news of the war gets grimmer by the day…
Nothing can stop the Nazis from their brutal attack. Nothing can stop soldiers from storming the estate and arresting Ben for no crime other than being Jewish. No amount of Mila’s begging can save him as he is shoved into a wagon, bound for a concentration camp.
Her heart shattered, Mila goes into hiding. It is only a matter of time until the enemy comes for her. As the SS hunt her down, she knows that Ben will be fighting for his life. Will she ever see her beloved again?
And when fighter jets soar through the sky, the air raid siren blaring and the ground shaking, will Mila and Ben’s love for one another be the thing that saves them—or kills them?
Fans of Fiona Valpy,
The Tattooist of Auschwitz
and
The Book of Lost Names
will fall head over heels for this unforgettable World War Two page-turner. This tearjerker shows that, if you have love, you can survive anything…
