Christian romantic suspense

When Stars Light the Sky

by Elizabeth Camden

Inga Klein works at the American embassy in Berlin as Europe moves toward World War I, where her path repeatedly crosses with ambitious Benedict Kincaid. Their clashing temperaments are complicated by diplomatic crises and circumstances that make a marriage of convenience unexpectedly useful. As war transforms their world, private loyalties become inseparable from international politics and neither can pretend their arrangement carries no emotional cost. Camden blends historical romance, diplomacy, wartime danger, and two strong-willed characters forced to reconsider first impressions.
