As WWII rages through Europe, two sisters struggle for happiness and love in this epic from the New York Times–bestselling author.

With their fates hanging in the balance, the twin sisters are bound by a shocking secret. Dorabella risks her life to follow her heart . . . and Violetta refuses to give up hope that one day she will be reunited with her lost love.
