A New Recruit for the Resistance Girls: A heart-stopping wartime tale of courage, sacrifice, and betrayal from Alice G May


Overview

A BRAND-NEW stunningly powerful and gripping World War II saga of defiance, danger, and daring women who refused to be silenced. Inspired by the true-life stories of The Women's Secret Army. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and A Call to Spy. 📖They said women were a liability in war. They were wrong... March 1940 A woman desperate for escape… A skilled mechanic, Fliss Makepeace chafes under the suffocating expectations of her family and society. Ordered to abandon her beloved engines for a 'woman's job' and pressured into a brutal marriage with the menacing Jake, Fliss feels trapped. But as the drums of war beat louder, she vows to serve King and Country rather than surrender to a life of quiet torment. A chance to serve her country… Joining the ATS offers Fliss not just a uniform, but freedom. Yet, a chance encounter with the formidable Major Stapleton propels her into an even deeper secret: a clandestine Women's Army, poised to become the British Resistance should Hitler invade. For Fliss, it's an undeniable call to duty—and a thrilling escape from her past. And turn the tide of war? At a secret research base, Fliss and the other ATS girls join scientists in a race against time to intercept Hitler's deadly bombing raids. The work is exhilarating, exhausting and fraught with peril. When a vicious attack rocks the isolated compound, a chilling question echoes through the ranks: Is there a German spy in their midst? With their vital mission now at risk, Fliss must draw on every ounce of her mechanical ingenuity and intuition to unmask the traitor before their secret war plans—and their lives—are shattered. A heart-stopping story of courage, betrayal, and the hidden heroines who risked everything to change the course of history. Inspired by the true-life stories of The Women's Secret Army. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Lana Kortchik and Tenko! 'A gripping tale of women learning to be part of a secret service in case of invasion or spies. I was hooked and couldn’t wait to know what happened.' Bestselling author Rosie Clarke 'Absolutely loved it, couldn’t put it down, had me hooked from beginning to end. Can't wait for the next one, I know it will be just as good.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'A thoroughly engaging read which I couldn’t put down!'⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'Once I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'This book was perfect, and I am very much looking forward to the next one in the series.' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'I enjoyed this book about the strong and intelligent women who trained and served during WW II in Great Britain. I couldn't put the book down. I stayed up late to finish this story. I can't wait for the next book!' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Author Information

I was born in Sheffield and brought up in South Wales. When I was a child I wanted to be a writer. Unfortunately, my teacher told me that I wasn’t creative. I was completely crushed and didn’t think my dream could ever come true. I studied Environmental Sciences at Southampton University, did a post- graduate qualification in management and then worked for the NHS as a GP surgery manager. In my mid-forties, I decided to give writing a chance. I left my twenty-year career and became a part-time school librarian. This gave me time to write. Now, I live in a ramshackle cottage in the New Forest with my husband (who is, probably, the most patient man on the planet). I spend all day every day either writing books, illustrating books or talking about books and I have never been happier. 
