Beschreibung des Verlags
They lost each other once before; now the clouds of war may give them a second chance.
As teenagers, Delia Byrne and Finn Delaney fell in love while flying kites and dreaming of a future together--until betrayal tore them apart. Now, as America enters World War I, Delia works for peace as a paralegal and pacifist. Her values forbid her from supporting the war effort, but she volunteers for a relief organization trying to save millions of lives in famine-stricken Belgium.
Returning to America as a decorated war hero, Finn is eager to get back to the front but is assigned to use his fame to raise funds instead. To his surprise, this mission will bring him face-to-face with Delia, the only woman he ever loved and once hoped to marry. As their shared mission draws them together, old sparks of romance begin to stir--until duty sends them behind enemy lines in occupied Belgium. Will the greatest danger be the conflict raging around them--or the possibility of falling in love again?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Long-lost childhood sweethearts reunite amid the chaos of WWI in this heartrending historical romance from Camden (Women of Midtown). Delia Byrne and Finn Delaney grew up together in a Manhattan orphanage, flying kites and dreaming of escape—until a betrayal from Finn tears them apart. Ten years later, in 1917, their paths cross at the Commission for Relief of Belgium, where principled pacifist Delia and dashing war hero Finn raise money for the citizens of occupied Belgium. Bumpy history aside, they can't help but feel a spark reignite as they work together and bond over the faith that's helped them navigate the war. The action picks up when Finn's drawn back to Belgium to free the captured woman who'd once saved him from imprisonment. After the mission goes awry, Delia might be the only person who knows enough to rescue him from German hands—but will lingering distrust dash their chances of a future together? Rich historical detail enlivens the plot, but it's the opposites-attract love story between risk-taker Finn and cautious Delia that will keep readers turning pages. Camden's fans will be swept up.
