Book Excerpt

Expect Trouble

CHAPTER ONE

Philadelphia, PA, 1943

U.S. WAVES Lieutenant Olivia “Livvy” Delacourt abhorred being late. It was doubly frustrating to be late on the first day of a new assignment.

Tension pressured the nape of her neck. This morning—without warning—the Navy Department jerked her from a challenging assignment in Cryptology, transcribing enemy phone conversations, and reassigned her—of all things—as driver to a naval commander overseeing the formation of the top secret Joint U.S. and Allied Intelligence Project. Livvy hoped there’d be something “intelligent” about her assignment. She preferred working her brain, not her foot on a pedal.
