The Diamond War Greg Cohen

What do you do if your lover turns out to be an enemy spy? This WWII love story celebrates the resilience of people and the power of love. It revolves around a conspiracy by the DeBeers diamond company that not only manipulated wartime decisions, but still impacts almost every modern-day marriage. British pilot Emily Rhodes, burning for revenge over the loss of her brother on the bloody shores of Dunkirk, enlists to shuttle aircraft in-country. The family estate in Africa of her lover, built upon gold and diamond mining, is assimilated by the diamond cartel. As war breaks out, Michael Hawthorne finds himself trapped in Britain, determined to break the company that swallowed his future in a single bite. Hank Wells is in charge of the new U. S. DeBeers ad campaign at his New York agency when Pearl Harbor upends his country and life. His knowledge of the world of diamonds launches him into Emily's life, and onto the global stage as a spy for the O. S. S. Emily's wartime duties become unexpectedly dangerous and exciting as she's drawn into the intrigue of espionage. Encountering these characters in their complicated dance that spans the globe is no less than the creator of James Bond himself, Ian Fleming.
