Description

“As the German army sweeps through the Netherlands, Cilla van der Zee faces an impossible choice: to survive, she must become a spy for the Nazis. But she has no intention of helping them. Once sent to Britain, she plans to abandon her mission and assist the Allies instead. However, her escape is cut short when she is discovered on the Scottish coast by navy lieutenant Lachlan Mackenzie, who turns her in as an enemy agent—one sentenced to die.

Rather than facing execution, Cilla is given a new purpose. British intelligence decides to use her to broadcast deceptive messages to Germany from a lighthouse at Dunnet Head—false reports containing naval information supplied by Lachlan himself. The success of the war effort depends on their cooperation, but trust is hard to come by. Lachlan knows Cilla was once a weapon in the hands of the enemy. If they fail to work together, the consequences could be catastrophic. But if he places his faith in the wrong person, it could cost him everything.”
