Too often we forget that part of England was under German occupation during WWII, but Sarah Sundin and I chatted about her newest release that takes place on Jersey.

We chatted about the way the different Channel Islands spent the war. Sarah had so many cool things she'd learned during research to share. And, I loved learning about her characters and how she came up with her story. Excellent!
Mists over the Channel Islands by Sarah Sundin
Behind enemy lines, adversary and
ally become impossible to distinguish.
The German invasion of the British Channel Islands shatters Dr. Ivy
Picot's peaceful world, forcing her to shoulder the weight of her
father's medical practice and hold together a family unraveling
under the strain of war. As conditions worsen in Jersey with the
arrival of thousands of forced laborers, Ivy's quiet allegiance to
the Allies compels her to risk everything by providing medical aid
to escaped workers--even as danger closes in.
Dutch engineer and resistance member Gerrit van der Zee volunteers
to build fortifications for the Germans so he can secretly send
maps and diagrams to the Allies. On his arrival in the Channel
Islands, he crosses paths with Ivy, who shows him contempt for the
uniform he wears. As tensions mount and their missions grow
increasingly dangerous, Ivy and Gerrit must confront the cost of
courage, the meaning of sacrifice, and whether love can survive in
the shadow of war. Will their covert efforts turn the tide--or will
they pay the ultimate price for defiance?
Renowned WWII fiction author Sarah
Sundin crafts a compelling historical romance featuring
enemies-to-lovers, wartime resistance, and medical intrigue--a tale
of loyalty, resilience, and courage when love and duty
collide.
