Layla spends months recovering in a hospital, and it seems the girl Leeds fell for might be forever changed.
A former girlfriend–turned-stalker wastes no time in finding and attacking Layla. A blissful courtship follows, but then Leeds makes the mistake of posting a picture of himself with Layla on social media. When Leeds approaches Layla, their connection is both instant and intense.
Through the interview, readers learn that Leeds was wasting both his time and his musical talent playing backup for a small-town wedding troupe called Garrett’s Band when he spied Layla dancing her heart out to their mediocre music at a wedding. The story opens as Leeds Gabriel meets with a detective while his girlfriend, Layla, is restrained in a room one flight above them. The heroine’s flight is too episodic to capitalize on Black’s skill at character development, but she’s great at raising readers’ blood pressure.Īn aimless young musician meets the girl of his dreams only to have his newfound happiness threatened by several inexplicable-and possibly supernatural-events. It’s hard to see how it can end well for both the cop and the cowgirl. Meanwhile, Gunter Hoffman, a career policeman in a wartime assignment with the Reichssicherheitsdienst security forces, is charged with finding the assassin who dared attempt to kill the Führer. Instead, she kills his admiral and has to flee through the streets of Paris, struggling to hook up with the rescuers who are supposed to extract her. Landing in a field, she hops a milk train to Paris, where she plans to shoot Adolf Hitler as he stands on the steps of Sacre-Coeur. She’s parachuted into the countryside, where her fluent French should help her blend in. After unimaginable tragedy strikes, Stepney recruits Kate for a mission that will allow her to channel her newly ignited rage against the Germans who’ve just invaded France. The start of World War II finds the couple stationed in the Orkney Islands, where Kate impresses Alfred Stepney of the War Department with the rifle skills she developed helping her dad and five brothers protect the family’s cattle. Born and bred in rural Oregon, she earned a scholarship to the Sorbonne, where she met Dafydd, a handsome Welshman who stole her heart. Kate Rees never expected to see Paris again, especially not under these circumstances. Black takes time out from chronicling the neighborhood-themed exploits of half-French detective Aimée Leduc to introduce a heroine as American as apple pie.
