The Wolf And The Fox (The Conti Dynasty)

About this book

Occupied France, 1942: Isabelle Renard is a Resistance courier whose life hangs in the balance when she is caught by Matteo Conti, an Italian corporal. Instead of turning her in, Matteo hides her in a requisitioned hotel room. For eleven months, they exist in a tense, silent stalemate—a forced proximity that blurs the lines between captor and protector. As they study each other across a locked door, a dangerous, unspoken attraction takes root. When the war shifts and they are forced to flee, their relationship evolves into a high-stakes partnership. They navigate sabotage runs, distrusting allies, and a relentless hunter determined to end them both. This gripping enemies-to-lovers romance follows their harrowing journey from the French coast to the heart of a powerful Sicilian dynasty in Palermo. Matteo was sent to occupy France, but he returns home occupied by a woman who refuses to be broken. Upon their arrival, Isabelle must face a family that never expected her and a future built on secrets. Together, they must decide if the loyalty they forged in the shadows can survive the pressures of a new, dangerous life where Isabelle is no longer just a courier, but the woman who helps build an empire.
