The Descent into Hell (The War Trilogy Book 2)

<i>November 1941: L’Hopitale L’Heroique, La Rochelle, France </i><br />Lieutenant Matt Hammond has returned to France desperate to see Amalie Balfoure, the girl he loves. He’s shocked to find that Amalie is a shadow of her former self—traumatised and mute after a horrific attack by Nazi soldiers, and heavily pregnant. Matt cannot come to terms with this hollow-eyed woman who shrinks from his touch—nor the child he believes was conceived during the attack—growing in her body. <br />Amalie’s brother, Jean Paul, realises Amalie cannot stay in France after the terrible events that stole her innocence, and arranges to have her evacuated to England. <br />When Amalie gives birth on the risky flight across the Channel, she’s wounded by Matt’s reaction to her daughter. It seems that all hope for their future is lost. <br />England is fighting for her survival and, as Amalie and Matt will discover, peace will be a long time coming, as they are brought together and separated once more by the conflict that surrounds them…
