About the Book
She came to France to tell the truth. She stayed to fight for it.
In the shadow of Vichy France, American journalist Eva Edwards refuses to stay silent while the Nazi occupation tightens its grip and French collaborators betray their own people. Determined to report the truth to a world that desperately needs it, Eva steps into the dangerous underworld of wartime resistance—gathering intelligence for the Allies and helping soldiers find their way to freedom. But every story she chases and every soldier she shelters brings her one step closer to arrest, interrogation, and the unspeakable horrors of a Nazi prison.
Then there’s Joseph Miller—the quiet, fiercely dedicated organizer at the heart of the escape network. Clever, intense, and haunted by the weight of the lives he carries, Joseph is the last man Eva should fall for. Emotion is dangerous. Attachment is a weakness their enemies will exploit. Yet, as they each fight to defeat the evil plaguing Europe, something undeniable grows between them—a connection forged in danger and deepened in stolen, breathless moments.
With Nazi forces tightening their stranglehold on France and the Gestapo inching ever closer, Eva and Joseph must navigate impossible choices. To speak the truth. To save lives. To protect each other. And to dare—against every odd—to hope.
Whispering Hope is the third book in the Circle of Hope series—an emotionally rich, Christian historical romance set against the sweeping drama of World War II. Filled with authentic historical detail, heart-pounding tension, and a deeply moving faith journey, this novel is perfect for readers who love:
- WWII historical fiction and romance
- Christian romance novels with strong female protagonists
- Wartime suspense and resistance stories
- Inspirational fiction rooted in faith, courage, and hope
- Series romance with compelling, layered characters
The Circle of Hope saga continues as the characters introduced in Abounding Hope (Book 1), Unending Hope (Book 2), and Whispering Hope (Book 3) strive to protect one another and advance the Allied cause.
What Is a Launch Team?
A launch team is a group of readers who are ready and willing (and eager!) to get the word out on the street about my books. When I think of my launch team, I think of my first readers, my inside circle, my front lines, my most enthusiastic fans.
Why Join the Launch Team?
By joining the Launch Team, you’ll help me accomplish the following:
- Share how the Lord gives each of us hope in the darkest of times if we trust Him
- Demonstrate that God’s plan for a healthy romance is far different from the world’s plan
- Teach important lessons of history through story
- Help readers develop a Christian view of world events so we might not repeat the same mistakes in the future
- Encourage Christians in their walk with Christ
- Provide wholesome, clean entertainment for readers
Expectations
By joining the Launch Team, you’re agreeing to . . .
1. Purchase Whispering Hope or read it in Kindle Unlimited (early discount price of $3.99 for the e-book, paperbacks will also be available on launch day).
Why am I asking you to purchase a copy if you’re on the Launch Team?
Searching for and purchasing Whispering Hope on Amazon will dramatically improve the novel’s ranking, and Amazon will show the book to new readers. Also, Amazon will mark your review as a “Verified Purchase” and will be more likely to approve the review and not take it down later.
2. If you enjoy the story, write a brief review for Amazon, BookBub, Goodreads, and any other online review site where you’d like to post it. The review only needs to be a short paragraph or two! This is the single most important thing launch team members do.
Beyond that, anything else you do is icing on the cake! Here are some ideas, but none of these are mandatory. Whatever you feel comfortable with is great, but the biggest help is the review!
