Jurek never believed love was possible in a brutal place like Auschwitz.

1940. Jurek, a young Polish idealist, was only nineteen when he was imprisoned at Auschwitz for trying to join the Polish resistance. But years of imprisonment have shaped him into a survivor, a camp veteran who knows how to use his resourcefulness and charm to get what he needs.

When Jurek is assigned to work at the camp's warehouse, he is immediately drawn to a girl with beautiful dark eyes and raven hair. Jurek finds a kindred spirit in Clara, who, like him, also used to be a romantic daydreamer, before the war.

Using his influence around the camp, Jurek smuggles Clara food and even flowers, a sight she never thought she'd see again. And as their love begins to blossom in the darkest place imaginable, a glimmer of hope ignites in him. Determined to keep his precious rose alive, he must do the unimaginable - and get Clara out of Auschwitz.

Knowing no one has ever successfully escaped the camp and lived to tell, can he risk their lives for a chance at love and freedom?

Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Keeper of Happy Endings, readers will be instantly captivated by Clara and Jurek's tragic romance, based on an unbelievable true story.
