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.

(Highest ranking #1 in historical) "I volunteer. I will be your wife..." When he rose a brow, she covered the distance between them, her jaw set. "In name only." He seemed to consider her words for a few seconds. "No," He finally said. "What?!" Her pitch rose a notch, disappointment lacing her voice. Taking a step that brought him face to face with her, "If you must be my wife, Blondie, then you must truly be my wife -in name, and in body." He leaned forward, his warm breath tickling her skin as his eyes ran down the length of her. "Frankly," He raised his eyes back to her. "I want all of you. All, or nothing." ____________________________________ Sharon Annabella Freelance is the only daughter of George Freelance, the town's drunk gambler.
