About this ebook

Madrid, 1937. When civil war erupts in Spain, Cleopatra Harrington refuses to stay safely behind in her Oxfordshire home. Determined to help the Republican cause, her heart propels her to the front.

There, Cleo finds the legendary Hotel Florida, a refuge for journalists, photographers and idealists united against Franco's fascists. Armed with a Leica camera, she discovers a talent for capturing the war's human cost - including one photograph that alters her life forever.

But as the conflict deepens, Cleo uncovers a terrible secret: someone inside the hotel is feeding information to the enemy. With no one she can fully trust, she must unmask the traitor before they strike again - even if it means risking everything she's come to fight for...

From the million-copy bestselling author comes a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice and betrayal set against the Spanish Civil War - perfect for anyone who likes powerful heroines, impossible love stories and the secrets hidden within history.
