The setting is Berlin, 1989, a bustling metropolis of three million souls 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain. Marianne Tucker, still emotionally wounded from being jilted at the altar, decides to start her life anew, a journey that takes her from sunny San Diego, California, to exciting Berlin, the divided and dangerous capital city of Germany. While working as a Foreign Service Passport Officer at the American Consulate, she encounters her runaway ex-fiancé and tangles with the woman who had destroyed their lives.

S. Owens: Good Read!!!  Hated putting it down for the night, but finished it the next day!!  Being former military, I was able to relate to a lot that the author presented.  When is the next adventure??

B. Hardy: Reality and romance from the Cold War!!! I was also stationed in Berlin during the Cold War and looked forward to re-visiting some of the people and places mentioned. I loved the characters and attention to detail. I could actually hear, smell and taste the memories.
I hope to see more from this author and other people and places she is familiar with. Could be the same characters or some that were introduced in this book. Will be fun to see where it goes. (Amazon)
