Desert Winds Book Three: Blood & Lies

By Marcy G. Dyer

Description:

While JD Miller is chaperoning a group of teens on a mission trip to Kherson, Ukraine, one of the boys vanishes from the group without a trace.

Leandra Davis hasn't seen her father in over twenty years when he shows up and asks her to fly to Ukraine to join the search for a brother she's never met. Anger at her absentee father compels her to walk out and ignore his pleas, but anguish at the thought of her brother all alone in a foreign country, at the mercy of kidnappers, convinces her to abandon her life in Odessa, Texas and join the search.

When she and her best friend fly to Ukraine to search for the kidnapped teen, she meets the passionate paramedic, JD Miller. Together, they search for the missing young man and begin to uncover deadly secrets Leandra's father wants to keep hidden.

Book Takeaway:

In spite of abandonment and pain during childhood, we can grow to become loving, kind adults who will go to extraordinary lengths for those we love.

Why the author wrote this book:

Leandra was a minor character in one of my previous books. I loved her spunk and wanted to explore her character more. Also, I work with a nonprofit that helps street children in Ukraine. I've been to the country a couple of times and fell in love with the people. I wanted Leandra to experience the country will running for her life.
