Omschrijving

They had to live like there was No Tomorrow.

England, December 1942. Elizabeth Bennet oversees the Special Operations training program, welcoming recruits for their final grooming before they parachute behind enemy lines to join the resistance or deploy in sabotage operations. She doesn't know their missions. It's best that way and keeps her heart under tight wrappings. She focuses on the current day and the work that is needed; there's no room for thoughts of tomorrow.

While out dancing one evening, her partner introduces Elizabeth and her sister Jane to his charming friend, Flight Lieutenant Charles Bingley. However, Bingley's friend isn't as pleasant. He likens Elizabeth to the type of girl who poses for pin-up pictures.

When Major Darcy shows up at the Baker Street office the next day, Elizabeth is flustered to work in the same office with him. The two clash constantly, even as her sister and his friend show signs of falling quickly in love.

William Darcy is a man caught between worlds. His father is English, but his mother is Greek. He fought the Nazi scum in Greece on the Aegean peninsula during the retreat in 1940 before working in Egypt and America. Now he's back in England.

The war rages around the couple while the Baker Street Special Operations Executive team carries on living like there is No Tomorrow. Missions are planned. People are trained. Men and women are deployed, often never to be seen again.

However, an incident from the past leads her and William on a mission together. Though her role is small compared to the dangers he faces, it's a change to her routine of tea and typing. Past hurts have made her live in the moment, self-contained and focused. But Elizabeth realizes she needs to live like a lifetime of tomorrows await them despite the war.
