Books Modern Romance Books Felicity " Fizzy" Chen is lost. Sure, she's got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she's asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn't been practising what she's preached. Fizzy hasn't ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can't-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she's spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie? Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker & single father, loves his work in large part because it allows him to live near his daughter. But when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting his job on the line, Connor is out of his element. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels for all the world to see? Fizzy gives him a hard pass--unless he agrees to her list of demands.

Product Description

The prison break from Stalag Luft III in eastern Germany was the largest of its kind in World War II.

It shows the variety & depth of the men sent into harms way during World War II, something emphasised by the population of Stalag Luft III.

Most of the Allied POWs were flyers, with all the technical, tactical & planning skills that profession requires.

Such men are independent thinkers, craving open air & wide-open spaces, which meant than an obsession with escape was almost inevitable'- John D Gresham

Between dusk & dawn on the night of March 24th-25th 1944, a small army of Allied soldiers crawled through tunnels in Germany in a covert operation the likes of which the Third Reich had never seen before.
