"Mimi, it's me. Nick," he whispered, his Nazi uniform a mockery of the boy who once promised to protect her. She stared through her tears at eyes she'd never forgotten—now belonging to the enemy.

When the Nazis invade Paris, the peaceful world Mimi shares with her beloved grandmother Chloe—is shattered forever. In a single, brutal day, police tear through their neighborhood, ripping Jewish families from their homes and destroying lives built over generations.

As grandmother and granddaughter face the unthinkable horrors of Nazi-occupied France, an unexpected figure from Mimi's past emerges—someone who could be salvation or destruction. Nick, the childhood friend who once held her heart, now bears the swastika armband.

But beneath the Reich insignia lies a man haunted by his choices, desperate to find redemption in the darkness. From a converted department store turned prison where Mimi is forced to sort stolen treasures to the camps where innocents face unspeakable evil, love becomes the most dangerous—and powerful—force of all.

Based on true events during the Nazi occupation of Paris, this is a devastating story of impossible choices, unexpected courage, and bonds that transcend even war itself from USA Today best-selling author Roberta Kagan.
