Working for Winston Churchill, can she help achieve victory
Churchills Cabinet War Rooms are full of secrets
June, 1941 Britain is in the throes of war, but Katharina Valentine feels sidelined.
Employed as a shorthand-typist in the War Office, she is transferred to the basement below having had no idea that this dark, airless, underground maze, home of the top-secret Cabinet War Rooms, even existed, let alone what her work will entail.
Unexpected staff shortages present an opportunity to work directly for Winston Churchill himself, and Katie jumps at the chance. And as she grows closer to Wing Commander Baxter Edwards, things start to look up
But when a jealous colleague threatens to expose information about her family that could put her in violation of the Official Secrets Act, Katie faces serious repercussions.
Will she lose both the job and the man she holds dear
