On a dark night
in July 1944, Special Operations Executive agent, Simone rows ashore from a
submarine at the small fishing town of Golfe-Juan on the Côte d’Azur. She meets the Resistance Leader code name
“Hibou” with whom she had a romantic affair during a mission in northern France
several months previously. Once again, they engage in subterfuge operations
against the German forces in the lead up to the Allied landings, code named Operation
Dragoon, scheduled for the following month.

Although their relationship is reawakened, the tension of their exploits and the possibility of
being caught by the Gestapo from information leaked by traitors in their midst causes some instability. However, love
has a way to conquer doubt, but as their love deepens so too does the risk of
them making mistakes.

Excerpt:
The dim red
light seemed to engulf the space around her as she sat quietly out of the way
of the busy mariners. She had just been told they had reached their destination
and the crew was making ready to resurface the submarine so that she could
disembark.

When initially
Simone had learned that she had been hand-picked
for this assignment she had wondered what special qualities she had to offer.
Then she had been told the name of the Resistance leader’s code name was
“Hibou” — the French name for an owl — and her heart had caught in her throat.

Then she had been told the name of the Resistance leader’s code name was
“Hibou” — the French name for an owl — and her heart had caught in her throat.
It was toward
the end of 1943 during the lead up to Operation Overlord where she had first
met Hibou at the community of Saint-Lô
located in North West France. Although at the time no one was privy to the date
and actual location of the planned invasion, it was
deemed prudent that all Resistance fighters throughout northern France
were to be well-equipped.

Could he be the
same man? She truly hoped so. Surely the Special Operations Executive wouldn’t
use the same code name for someone else?

Simone closed
her eyes to remember that mission. Her directive had been to reorganize a
Resistance unit and to supply them with arms and explosives…

Hibou was tall and stockily
built with dark curly hair. He had large gorgeous blue eyes, and she could
plainly see how the code name fitted him
perfectly. It had been love at first sight,
and despite the dangers, they had managed
to nurture a strong romantic bond. Even though their intimacy had let down
their guard, they had never divulged
their own real names. When it was time to
leave it was as though her heart had been wrenched out, but now there was a
chance to meet him again. Would they be able to rekindle their relationship?
Would he even remember her? She tightened her eyes to concentrate on her
memory and tried to ignore the noises about her.

At
the beginning, their relationship had been strictly professional, but a close
encounter with the Gestapo removed all pretense,
and they found comfort in each other’s arms. One thing led to another, and before they could stop themselves, they were entangled naked on the
soft straw of a stall in a barn. The only noise aside their heavy breathing was the sound of jingling bells that were tied around the necks of several goats
nearby.

Simone could still ‘feel’ his touch and the
sensation of fullness as his manhood slid within her. She
subconsciously clenched the muscles of her lower regions as she conjured up
those thoughts.

“Miss Dubois,
the Commander would like a word.” The voice in her ear snapped her from the
reverie. As she opened her eyes to regard the speaker she was grateful for the
red light to help disguise the flushness of her cheeks.
