A Certain Darkness by Anna Lee Huber

I like the stories featuring Verity and her husband Sydney. Her exploits during WWI are brave, courageous and stuff that other women did not do. Sydney was himself a brave soldier and one who thankfully came out of the war alive. That they are able to make a life together after the harrowing preceeding years is a miracle. Now they are called upon to go back to espionage and find out secrets that are hazardous and will set the world alight. Verity finds the civilian life rather too quiet for her taste and she is longing to get the bit between her teeth but Sydney is the ideal partner - putting on the brakes and making sure she does not risk it all for the sake of her work. He makes her realize that in the end her life and his matters, and that they came out of the War not to destroy themselves but to make a life together. The story going back to Belgium, Netherlands and past characters in their lives all trying to get this report which will rock Europe. Very high on espionage, thrills, this is a page turner.
