The Woman from St John's Wood. Wilkinson at War, #1

When Clarence Wilkinson first met Jenny Matheson in August 1940, the young woman was caught up in an investigation he was conducting on behalf of British Intelligence. Inveigling her into continuing her romance with a known German agent weighed heavily on his conscience. Himself a confirmed bachelor and sixteen years her senior meant that his measure of guilt was augmented by a feeling of responsibility for her future welfare.
Learning that she had suffered a nervous breakdown increased the concern he felt for her and resulted in her being employed as his assistant in the newly formed section he was charged with operating at the War Office. Against all the odds the confirmed bachelor and the fragile younger woman find a mutual attraction that will not only enhance their personal lives but prove crucial in resolving their first joint investigation.
