In Picardy's Fields: Prequel to The Diamond Courier, Paperback/Hannah Byron

A Parisienne, a doctor, a baroness. In 1918, Agnès de Saint-Aubin is the first female surgeon who goes to the frontlines to save lives. But Agnès has a secret that can put the staff and patients in jeopardy. Château de Dragoncourt in Picardy has been turned into a war hospital right behind the Hindenburg line. Together with the attractive-but married-Dr. Alan Bell, Agnès fights a desperate fight to save Allied lives. Until the castle is captured by the Germans and the war for Agnès turns private. She becomes both a dangerous liability-and a mighty weapon. Can Alan save her? A teenager, a go-getter, a countess. Madeleine de Dragoncourt no longer accepts being sidelined to a Swiss finishing school. Her place is in the thick of the action. Even if it means running away to join her siblings who are working as medics at the Château. When the Germans conquer her home, Madeleine knows she has to take action. Singlehandedly she decides to rescue her family and friends held prisoner inside. But can a mere teenager defeat an entire German army? In Picardy's Fields is an homage to Agnès and Madeleine, two brave young women in WW1.
