Churchill's Secret Messenger: A WW2 Novel of Spies & the French Resistance By Alan Hlad

In the midst of World War II, amidst the labyrinthine corridors of Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms in London, a cadre of determined civilian women toils fervently. Rose Teasdale, having lost her parents in a bombing raid, immerses herself in the war effort, often dwelling in Room 60, where the scent of Churchill's cigars mingles with the air. Her fluency in French catches the eye of Churchill himself, leading to an extraordinary opportunity.

Recruited into the Special Operations Executive, Rose assumes the codename Dragonfly. Following intensive training, she parachutes into Nazi-occupied France, masquerading as a cosmetics saleswoman in Paris. Tasked with relaying messages for the Resistance, Rose treads carefully, aware that a single misstep could spell capture or death.

United by a shared dedication to the cause, Rose and Lazare navigate treacherous missions and confront the harsh reality of wartime sacrifice. As Rose embarks on a high-stakes prison raid, she grapples with the profound sacrifices demanded to justify Churchill's trust.
