The Girl Philippa
1916
In the sweltering summer of 1914, a young woman known only as Philippa catches the eye of a mysterious Englishman in a crowded market. Halkett carries an envelope that certain dangerous men will kill to possess, and Philippa finds herself caught between loyalty to her protector Wildresse, an underworld figure with his own secrets, and her deepening feelings for this haunted stranger. As the shadow of war descends across Europe following the assassination in Sarajevo, Philippa must decide whom she can trust when everyone is playing a double game. This forgotten espionage romance captures a world on the edge of annihilation, where ordinary people navigate extraordinary danger and discover what they're willing to sacrifice for love, loyalty, and survival.
