Sometimes the best place to hide is the last place anyone would look.

Berlin, 1938

Against the backdrop of pre-WWII Berlin, British pianist Audrey James and her best friend Isle face the imminent threat of Nazi oppression. When Ilse's family disappears and Nazi officers confiscate their home, Audrey becomes their housekeeper and Ilse is forced into hiding in the attic-a prisoner in her own home. As borders close and rumours of death camps swirl, Audrey makes the life-changing decision to join the covert resistance and risk everything to protect her loved ones.

Alnwick, 2010

After a tragic accident, Kate Mercer packs her things and moves to work at a guest house near the Scottish border. Instead of finding solace, Kate becomes entangled in the secrets of her mysterious elderly proprietor...

Inspired by true stories of courageous women and the German resistance during WWII, this is a captivating story about the unbreakable bonds of friendship and family.

After completing two Master's degrees, Heather worked for several years in politics and communications before finally turning her attention to her true passion: storytelling.
