England, 1941.
When twenty-three-year-old Margaret ‘Maggie’ Thornfield receives a mysterious letter summoning her to Whitmore House for ‘clerical work of national importance,’ she has no idea she’s stepping into the heart of Britain’s most secret wartime operation. Inside the sprawling country estate, brilliant minds work day and night to break enemy codes—work that could turn the tide of war.
Alongside sharp-witted linguist Diana Hartwell, mathematical prodigy Rose Chen, and meticulous records clerk Lucy Pemberton, Maggie discovers that friendship can be forged even in the shadow of danger. But as the women become entangled in hidden romances, cryptic messages, and covert missions, the line between loyalty and betrayal blurs.
When coded letters hint at a double agent within their ranks, Maggie must risk everything—her position, her friendships, and her heart—to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
Fans of The Alice Network, The Rose Code, and The Nightingale will be swept away by this spellbinding tale of courage, sisterhood, and the extraordinary women who helped win the war from behind the scenes.
The Secret Letters of Whitmore House is an unforgettable blend of historical fiction, slow-burn romance, and edge-of-your-seat intrigue—perfect for readers who love smart, emotional page-turners with rich historical detail.
