"The Americans meets Paul Vidich's An Honorable Man!" -Cam Torrens, bestselling author of the Tyler Zahn suspense series
Art student Eleanor has been trapped in fascist Italy since 1939, forced into hiding, camouflaging her identity. At war's end, she meets intelligence officer Talbot who's captivated by her story, her intellect, and her beauty. He believes he can obviate her pervasive melancholy over the dreams the war forced her to abandon.
They marry and head to Washington, DC, where he joins the fledgling CIA and she struggles to find her footing in a city with a rhythm and artistic sensibility so unlike lyrical Florence.
As Talbot rises in the CIA, their marriage frays, and he seeks attention from the string of young secretaries assigned to work for him. He blames his infidelity on Eleanor-her remote nature, her disinterest in him. But when a mission he oversees-the flight of a U-2 spy plane over the Soviet Union-fails horribly, his unsavory conduct is exposed. His career and his freedom are suddenly in jeopardy. As his life unravels, Eleanor has a choice to make that may require her to reveal explosive secrets of her own.
Heart-pounding historical fiction at its best, Pamela Norsworthy skillfully weaves the gripping story of a teetering marriage into the infamous U-2 incident that redefined the stakes of the Cold War.

About the Author
Norsworthy, Pamela: - Pamela Norsworthy earned a 2025 Georgia Author of the Year nomination for her debut novel, War Bonds, which drew heavily on her father's experiences in World War Two. A former journalist, Pam began writing fiction to explore the vast, unforeseen reverberations when world events collide with the peaceable lives of average people. A lifelong singer, Pam enjoys making music and performing with her guitar-playing husband, rooting for the Atlanta Braves and her alma mater, the University of Virginia, and lingering over spirited, discursive dinners to chew over ideas and themes from every angle. She and her husband live in Atlanta, Georgia, where Pam's writing is interrupted every day at noon by their two barking dogs, taken by surprise once again by the arrival of the mail carrier.
