France 1944: Stranded behind enemy lines, eighteen-year-old Katrinka Badeau escapes German deserters with the help of an undercover Jedburgh operation. Katrinka joins the Jed team, led by Major Willoughby Nye, a man once employed on her father's merchant ship. Her work throws her together with Sergeant Wolfe Farr, the team's tough-talking radio operator. Amid the chaos of war, she and Wolfe begin a passion-tangled love affair. But Katrinka cannot accept Wolfe's plans for the future. And her love for Nye, which has evolved from an adolescent crush to that of a young woman, still burns bright. With the liberation of France, both men are sent to the Far East. Refusing to be left behind, Katrinka joins a small entertainment troupe and sets out on an arduous journey to find them. But which love will withstand the test of time?
