Publisher Description
Rome, September 1943.
British SOE radio operator Oliver Bennett parachutes into Nazi-occupied Italy expecting a difficult but orderly assignment. Instead, he finds a resistance network broken by capture, suspicion, and fear. His only lifeline is Luca Moretti, a young Roman courier who knows every alley, checkpoint, and shadowed piazza in the city, and who has every reason not to trust another foreign operator.
Luca has survived by moving fast, keeping secrets, and never letting anyone close enough to endanger him. But Oliver's arrival changes the rhythm of the underground war. Between coded messages, hidden radio transmissions, dead drops, and midnight escapes, the two men are forced into a partnership where every mistake could mean arrest, betrayal, or death.
As Rome tightens under occupation, professional necessity turns into something more intimate and far more dangerous. Trust becomes a risk. Desire becomes a liability. And in a city where even family loyalty can be weaponized, Oliver and Luca must decide whether love is another weakness the enemy can exploit, or the one code strong enough to survive the war.
Rome in Cipher is a WWII MM historical romance of secrecy, resistance, sacrifice, and forbidden love in the shadowed streets of occupied Rome.
