Le Sanctuaire G S Jones

Despite her African-German heritage, 27-year-old Ursula Bergmann remains in Germany to help hundreds of men, women, and children escape the Nazis, hoping that one day, she would find her family the SS had taken. After a betrayal by a comrade in the Underground, Ursula escapes a Gestapo raid. With the help of friends, she crosses the Rhine River into France to her new home...an aging farmhouse known as the Sanctuary. Le Sanctuaire. That's what the locals call it. It was used as a way-station for people escaping the Third Reich, some were Black-German children who were also known as Rhineland Bastards. Now, it is to be Ursula's safe-haven...so she thinks. The peace she anticipates quickly turns into a battle of nerves and wits when four SS officers, survivors of a plane crash, show up at her door. Ursula is now a prisoner in the one place she thought she'd be safe. Her only hope for survival comes from four unlikely sources; a young man who always watches the house from across the meadow, two mysterious children she finds hiding in the attic., and a SS Captain named Erich Friesen, a mortal enemy who literally fell out of the sky and into her heart. Falling in love should never be this dangerous
