At the height of World War I, two sweethearts face impossible odds
in this powerful tale of courage, duty, and heartbreak. In the
summer of 1918, Captain Marcus Weatherford arrives in Russia on a
secret mission, with a beautiful ballerina posing as his fiancee.
He's there to find the Romanov tsarina and her son and glean
information about a plot to assassinate Lenin. As the danger
intensifies, Marcus's sense of duty battles with his desire to
return home to Clare, the woman he truly loves, before it's too
late. Military hospital orderly Clare Danner still suffers from
Marcus's betrayal after learning he's engaged to another woman.
Clare also fears losing her daughter, Daisy, to the heartless
family who took her away once before. Only Marcus can provide the
critical proof needed to save Daisy, but when an injury leaves him
powerless to help, Clare's fate--and the fate of the top-secret
mission--hangs in the balance. "In Love's Time is an exceptional
story of courage and sacrifice, fidelity and love against all odds,
set amid the intrigue and danger of 1918 Europe. Riveting!"--Laura
Frantz, Christy Award-winning author of The Rose and the Thistle
Her daring bid for freedom could be her greatest undoing. Amid the
Great War in 1918 England, munitions worker Rosalind Graham is
desperate to escape the arranged marriage being forced on her by
her ruthless guardian and instead follow her own course. When the
Chilwell factory explodes, killing hundreds of unidentified
workers, Rose realizes the world believes she perished in the
disaster. Seizing the chance to escape, she risks all and assumes a
new identity, taking a supervisory position in Gretna, Scotland, as
Miss Tilly Lockhart. RAF Captain Alex Baird is returning home to
Gretna on a secret mission to uncover the saboteur suspected in the
Chilwell explosion, as Gretna's factory is likely next. Fearing for
his family's safety, he's also haunted by guilt after failing to
protect his brother. Alex is surprised to discover a young woman,
Miss Lockhart, renting his boyhood room, but the two eventually
bond over their mutual affection for his family--until Alex
receives orders to surveil her. Rose squirms beneath Alex's
scrutiny while she struggles to gain her workers' respect. But when
her deception turns to danger, she and Alex must find a way to put
their painful pasts behind them and together try to safeguard the
future. "With her trademark attention to historical detail, Kate
Breslin sweeps readers to a Great War home front full of intrigue,

Award-winning author of Shadows of the White City "Readers will be
captivated by this exquisite blend of historical intrigue and
heartfelt romance from one of the finest voices in inspirational
fiction."--AMANDA BARRATT, author of My Dearest Dietrich and The
White Rose Resists "Breslin uses an exhilarating plotline and
tender romance amid the tension of espionage to craft a gripping
tale rife with double agents, corrupt foreign arms dealers, and
secret missions. Ultimately, this is a story of forgiveness and
family, and readers will revel once again in Breslin's superb
chronicling of women's vital contributions to the war
effort."--Booklist "Breslin keeps the tension up. . . . The stakes
could not be higher--in both love and war--in this espionage tale
drenched in intrigue."--Publishers Weekly

them. When their pursuit leads them straight into the midst of a
treacherous plot, danger and deception turn their search for

Powerful Retelling of the Story of Esther
In 1944, blond and blue-eyed Jewess Hadassah Benjamin feels
abandoned by God when she is saved from a firing squad only to be
handed over to a new enemy. Pressed into service by SS-Kommandant
Colonel Aric von Schmidt at the transit camp of Theresienstadt in
Czechoslovakia, she is able to hide behind the false identity of
Stella Muller. However, in order to survive and maintain her cover
as Aric's secretary, she is forced to stand by as her own people
are sent to Auschwitz.
Suspecting her employer is a man of hidden depths and sympathies,
Stella cautiously appeals to him on behalf of those in the camp.
Aric's compassion gives her hope, and she finds herself battling a
growing attraction for this man she knows she should despise as an
enemy.
Stella pours herself into her efforts to keep even some of the
camp's prisoners safe, but she risks the revelation of her true
identity with every attempt. When her bravery brings her to the
point of the ultimate sacrifice, she has only her faith to lean
upon. Perhaps God has placed her there for such a time as this, but
how can she save her people when she is unable to save herself?
"I absolutely loved this book. "For Such a Time "kept me up at
night, flipping the pages and holding my breath wanting to know
what would happen next. Based on the Biblical book of Esther, the
story takes the reader to a concentration camp inside World War II
Czechoslovakia, where a young Jewish woman has captured the
attention of the Kommandant and has the opportunity to save her
people, much as Esther did in the Biblical account. The story is
gripping, compelling, and I dare anyone to close the cover before
the last suspenseful page."--#1 "New York Times" Bestselling
Author, Debbie Macomber
"When I finished Kate Breslin's novel for the first time, I had an
urge to flip back to page one and start reading all over again.
It's that good. "For Such a Time" is an intimate portrait painted
on a grand scale, bringing to life the drama and pain of suffering
with the triumph and joy of freedom. This book deserves a wide
audience, and newcomer Breslin has a bright future."--#1 "New York
Times" bestselling author, Susan Wiggs
"An engrossing and inspiring story from a talented new
writer."--Bestselling Author, Sheila Roberts
Gripping Sophomore Novel from a Rising Historical Romance Talent
With Britain caught up in WWI, Jack Benningham, heir to the Earl of
Stonebrooke, has declared himself a conscientious objector.
Instead, he secretly works for the Crown by tracking down German
spies on British soil, his wild reputation and society status
serving as a foolproof cover. Blinded by patriotism and concern for
her brother on the front lines, wealthy suffragette Grace Mabry
will do whatever it takes to assist her country's cause. When she
sneaks into a posh London masquerade ball to hand out white
feathers of cowardice, she never imagines the chain of events
she'll set off when she hands a feather to Jack. And neither of
them could anticipate the extent of the danger and betrayal that
follows them--or the faith they'll need to maintain hope.
