Long ago, in the waning years of World War II, a Nazi train was captured by the Allies. Its cargo - a fortune in stolen art and gold dust - vanished. Now, two strangers are about to become engulfed in its tantalizing mystery.... Raised in a military family, Amy Mallory grew to resent authoritarian control and vowed never to fall for a man in uniform. But what she discovers in her late grandfather's private files exposes her to a dangerous -- and tempting - world she never imagined... Colonel Lucien Flaherty has devoted his life to duty, country, and family. But all that he believes is shattered when his ancestors' honor is tainted by scandal - and by secrets that link his past to that of a beautiful stranger. Invaluable secrets that someone would kill to keep buried -- secrets that bring Amy and Lucien together in unexpected passion and inescapable peril.
Dump it! The more I tried to understand what's going on, the more I found myself wanting to chuck it. Very few books do that to you.
Patricia has her background raise your expectations sky high only to bring it down crumbling in a span of just the first 50 pages. World War 2 scenario, Nazi train, stolen paintings..you'd think that would get you somewhere good but not in this book.
Two forced love stories, a poor mistreated dog looking for affection, stupid killers who can"t manage to catch a person even if their life depended on it...just don't let me get started. Sorry, just keep this off your bookshelves.
Do not bother buying this book. I abandoned it after 2 tries. Amy is a highly irritating heroine- thinks she knows better than everyone. And I really can't get over the fact that the hero uses the name Irish, it really jars.
And don't get me started on Sally and Dustin. The author seems to think the plot twist at the end would curry favour. She might have written a better book if she hadn't bothered.
