The Emerald Brooch

A scarred combat veteran swept into the chaos of World War II. A handsome Scotsman keeping a heartbreaking secret. A dangerous game of espionage where love is the ultimate casualty.

West Point graduate and retired Army Captain Kenzie Wallis-Manning is one of the toughest women in any room. Having barely survived the battlefields of Afghanistan, she carries the scars to prove it. She is disciplined, sharp, and refuses to quit. But when she triggers an ancient emerald brooch, she is hurled back to England in May of 1944—with no weapons, no identification, and a mere week before the D-Day invasion.

Landing on her feet, Kenzie puts her military skills to work at Bletchley Park. But wartime England is gripped by paranoia, and a woman with no past quickly draws the deadly attention of Military Intelligence.

Sent back to the past by Kenzie’s family to bring her home, Major David McBain locates her—only to find her bonding with a dashing American pilot. Convinced the pilot is Kenzie’s true destiny, David makes a calculated choice to hide his identity and keep his distance. He ruins her punchlines, guards his heart, and focuses strictly on his mission.

But in a world on the brink of invasion, secrets are a deadly currency. When wartime suspicion threatens Kenzie’s survival, David is forced to step out of the shadows. As the sparks between them become impossible to ignore, they are plunged into a web of MI-6 spies and historical danger where trust is a luxury they cannot afford.

With D-Day looming, David must decide how much he is willing to risk for a woman who doesn’t know who he truly is—and Kenzie must decide if she can trust a man who is hiding the key to her past.
