Paris, 1952โ€“Still haunted by the years she spent serving in the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during WWII, ex-pat Kat Fontaine, now living in Paris, finds a simple cookery class led by indomitable chef Julia Child unearths the tangle of gut-wrenching memories of war. Determined to find her brother who went missing during the war and is presumed dead, Kat questions everything, especially her high-ranking society husband whose past is as murky as her own. But when the puzzle pieces start to come togetherโ€”and her carefully crafted Paris world begins to fall apartโ€”Kat must confront her own secrets against the mounting suspicions of the husband she thought she knew . . .

Rue, 1943โ€“Deep in the heart of Nazi-controlled northern France, Manon Altier shifts between working for the enemy by dayโ€”as a French chef at the famous Chateau du Broutel, where names like Himmler, Rommel, and Goebbels frequent the guest listโ€”and running with underground networks against the Vichy regime at night. Working undercover to filter critical information to agents within the burgeoning OSS presence in France, Manon digs deep into the glitz and glamour of a Nazi stronghold that has her teetering on the edge of being discovered at any turn. But when an intriguing stranger appears at the chateau claiming to work with the French Resistance, Manon must lean on her instincts to judge whether to run and hide or stand firmโ€”even as a terrifying discovery tests her resolve to continue the fight.
