She trained to risk everything for her country. But what if her greatest test is surviving herself?
Fiona Laval has always lived in the shadow of risk—her father’s life as a professional gambler taught her the art of reading people, bluffing, and knowing when to go all in. When World War II erupts, Fiona’s ambitions soar: she dreams of serving as an SOE agent, fighting for the freedom of her father’s homeland, France. But after enduring months of brutal training, her hopes are shattered when she fails the final, merciless test. Branded a liability, Fiona is exiled to “The Cooler”—a remote, windswept lodge in the Scottish Highlands, where failed agents are sent to be forgotten.
But fate isn’t done with Fiona. When a desperate mission created by an ambitious but untrustworthy SIS agent arises—one that only someone with her unique skills and background can attempt—she’s offered a second chance. Dropped behind enemy lines in occupied France, Fiona must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, deadly secrets, and impossible choices. Haunted by her past and hunted by the Gestapo, she’s forced to gamble with her life, her loyalties, and her heart.
Can Fiona outwit her enemies and redeem herself, or will the debts of her past prove impossible to escape?
The Gambler’s Daughter is a gripping tale of resilience, betrayal, and courage, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Pam Jenoff, and Kristin Hannah. Step into a world where every choice is a wager—and the stakes are life and death.
