NEW NOVEL RELEASES IN NORTH AMERICA JUNE 2nd 2026! 'The Double Life of Eve Sinclair' The Alice Network meets The Nightingale in this romantic and suspenseful World War Two novel about Eve, a female spy who must push herself to her very limits to save herself and everything she holds dear—from nationally bestselling author and master of historical fiction C.C. Humphreys. It's 1939, and Stockholm is a sea of spies. Yet Eve Sinclair couldn't care less. Nineteen years old, beautiful, born in Montreal into privilege and educated to do little more than make a good marriage, she appears to have succeeded when she weds handsome diplomat Richard Spence and follows him to Stockholm. But, like so much in this city, Eve will discover that her marriage is not what it seems. Raised to expect only one life, she soon finds herself thrust into another one entirely—dark, corrupt and very, very dangerous. If Eve is going to survive her perilous personal circumstances and the world war raging around her, she must learn certain skills—and swiftly. She will discover a core of steel buried deep within her, as well as how to use that steel to forge a career . . . as a spy. Her talents—and her drive for revenge—will bring her across Europe and demand inconceivable sacrifices from her. The Double Life of Eve Sinclair is much more than a war story; it’s a tale of love, passion, grit and the resilience of the human spirit. And it’s the story of one woman who discovers she has more strength than she ever could have imagined. Chris (C.C.)
