1940 – France

In the summer of 1940, with France on the verge of surrender to Germany, Valli Chattaine, a star in the Paris Ballet Company, must escape Paris and return home to French Morocco. A French Foreign Legionnaire, hired by her family, attempts to get her safely out of Paris. Marc Durell, an adventurous and capable soldier, also brings Valli a secret letter from her older sister, Gisele. But in going home, Valli falls into a maze of dark deceptions and dangers. Through it all she comes to a deeper understanding of God’s grace, which is so much greater than her own. His grace helps to bring her and her family beyond devastating circumstances in Casablanca and is equally present in her own romance with the charismatic Legionnaire.

WWI – Egypt

In dramatic settings ranging from pyramids of Egypt to the shores of the mysterious Nile River, Valiant Hearts tells a tale of intrigue, danger, and romance. A stirring conclusion to the sweeping World War I saga begun in Arabian Winds and continued in Lions of the Desert.

British field nurse Allison Wescott needs answers. The man she loves has been suspended from his position with British Intelligence, charged with treason and theft. Allison knows the accusations are unfounded—they have to be. Bret Holden is a man of honor and integrity. But she also knows a disturbing secret: there is a map…and Bret does have it. If only he would come forward and clear his name, but Bret seems to have disappeared without a trace—and it is rumored he has the treasure!
Allison must navigate the hazardous waters of murder and espionage, suspicion and betrayal—and when she is reunited with Bret at last, it is only to discover they both have become targets for Germany’s most dangerous—and deadly—spy.
