About this ebook

"WARS ARE NOT WON BY RESPECTABLE METHODS." -- Amy Elizabeth Thorpe, American Spy in World War II.

"THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF HISTORY, HUMOR, AND ROMANCE." --Books and Beyond Fifty Shades

"A guilty pleasure.... The story-telling in this book is amazing." -Ingrid Hall

ROYAL PALM LITERARY AWARD WINNER

"I AM NANETTE. I BREAK ALL THE RULES. During the war I was a spy for the British and helped save the world. I’ve kept my secrets for fifty years. But now I’m ready to talk.”

Joe Parker's search for his grandfather leads him to a former spy who worked with his grandmother in France fifty years ago during World War II. She still chain smokes, drinks her whisky straight, and loves telling steamy stories. He'll never see women, young or old, the same way again.

THEIR MISSION: Gather intelligence behind Nazi lines in World War II.
AT RISK: The future of the Free World.
THEIR MEANS: Whatever it takes.
BUT THE LINES BLUR AND THE WAR HEATS UP when they are forced to choose between their hearts and their duty.

INSPIRED BY REAL WOMEN WHO HELPED SAVE THE WORLD. "Code Name Nanette" is a quirky, sensual, character-driven love story that honors the British and American female resistance fighters in France during World War II, who loved and fought behind enemy lines as intensely as their male counterparts, but whose names and achievements remain largely unheralded to this day. It opens a window into the hearts and the minds of women who take on new roles and risk everything for love, freedom, or just plain adventure. The result is more than a history lesson. It's a revealing and touching triumph of courage, love, and hope against all odds.

Like Nanette says, "It's complicated."Mary E. Dawson's life has been a series of right angle turns, each leading to new adventures and distant horizons never before contemplated. A former professional photographer, editor for NASA, community activist, elected official, and attorney, Mary searched from New Orleans, to Seattle, to Houston, and Miami, before she found the place she calls home - a small remnant of Florida's last frontier, which she shares with friends, family, and a black-and-tan hound that wandered in out of the Allapattah Flats one sunny afternoon. And Life has imparted lessons at every turn, but most notably the lessons Joe ultimately learns:"Never underestimate the power and strength of women, and it's how and who you love that counts, but when it comes to that, "Your heart and your body don't play by anyone's rules. They love who they love and want who they want, and there's nothing you can do about it.""Code Name Nanette" is Mary's thank-you gift to fate for the education, and "The River Way Home" is Mary's gift to the community she loves. Enjoy!!
