The Number of Love
Book 1 of the The Codebreakers series
368 pages · First published 2019
During the First World War, Belgian refugee Margot De Wilde applies her mathematical mind to secret codebreaking work for British intelligence. Numbers feel safer than emotion until wounded intelligence officer Drake Elton enters her life while an enemy threat draws dangerously close to the team. Margot’s faith and carefully ordered independence are tested by grief, espionage, and an attachment she cannot reduce to a reliable formula. Clean, suspenseful, and explicitly Christian, this historical romance is a strong choice for readers who enjoy brilliant heroines, wartime intelligence, slow-building love, and faith under pressure.
