COMPLETE Novel. (love, war, sex, gold, myth & deception... with a dash of comic relief:-) Bonus: **VOTE** on 2 alternate endings. In the desert, Julie and Flynn don't know whether they are alive, dead or simply in love. It's possibly all three, because nothing is simple in... Afghanistan, hot and perilous. But not compared to the fiery romance that burns between tempestuous Julie McNeill, a woman dedicated to protecting her adopted village, and the indomitable Flynn Montague, a soldier seeking fortune. They find themselves entrenched on opposite sides of a desperate conflict, but forces far greater than personal loyalties impel them to come together in a no-man's land where they must battle treachery, corruption and danger to discover the true essence of life, death and love.
