A reclusive academic who would do anything to save her brother.A reluctant spy who’d risk is life to save the woman who broke his heart.Olivia Rakes has almost mythic observations skills when it comes to facts, figures, and details, but she stumbles through matters of the heart. When her brother goes missing over German-occupied France, Livy enlists her services with a group of search-and-rescue spies, who not only thrust her toward espionage, danger, and deceit, but the most frightening of all…romance.Agent Christopher Dawson has avoided Livy Rakes since she broke his heart three years ago. Which is probably for the best, since, as a British spy, he could very well die any day and pursuing a romantic relationship is not on the agenda for him. But when the search for his best friend brings them together on a secret mission, the heart takes on a mind of its own. In a world where war changes the rules of life and love, can Christopher and Livy work together to complete their rescue mission before the enemy catches them first.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Facade
Book Author: Pepper Basham
What do you like about this book:
"Her eyes had always been his downfall - the mirror into the soul she fisted behind books and isolation."
Christopher Dawson doesn't know whether or not his heart can survive another encounter with "Livy" Rakes; she broke his heart three years ago with her quickly announced engagement to another man, and like a romantic coward, Christopher fled to join the ranks of "operative" in Britain's elite Special Operations unit; plainly put, he became a spy. Now their country needs Olivia's unique set of observational skills; she has already been trained, but abruptly returned to a civilian career, experiencing what she considered to be a failed mission after her partner was killed.
Olivia Rakes "despised dancing. . . . . What else did she need? . . a pen, pencil, notepad and an Agatha Christie novel . . . . " until the father of her childhood friend persuades her to join him on the dance floor. It's rather obvious Captain Arthur Dawson is after more than social pleasantries, for her eyes soon meet those of a man across the room who still has the magnetism to pull her into a closet for a terse, long overdue conversation.
As you might imagine, "Facade" brings a unique blend of romantic tension strung tightly between the tenderest of hearts; and like an accomplished harpist, Pepper Basham plays every note perfectly, in this heart felt, high stakes game of "facade".
I received a copy of this novella from the author. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.
