Conflicted Bride, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. How far would you go to save a friend—if the people trying to stop you are on your own side? When British intelligence trainee Rosie Winterbourne learns that her closest friend, yacht skipper Michael McCaffey, has been kidnapped by a Daesh splinter group in Libya, she makes a choice that will change her life forever. She disobeys orders. She disappears. And she goes in alone. Armed with her gift for languages and an infallible memory, Rosie crosses North Africa under false identities, pursued by her own agency and aided by men she knows she should never trust. To reach Michael, she must pose as a Muslim wife and infiltrate a jihadist-occupied desert town—while a British sniper is quietly authorised to stop her before she is captured alive. As alliances fracture and loyalties blur, Rosie discovers that in modern espionage there are no clean hands, no clear heroes—and no way out without sacrifice. The Conflicted Bride is a gripping, morally complex thriller about loyalty, radicalisation, and the personal cost of doing the right thing in a world that no longer recognises it.
