Queen of Hearts

By K Dawn Byrd

Description:

Daphne Dean is proud to be serving her country stateside during WWII as a reporter and an Office of Strategic Services operative. When the photograph she takes of the crowd at a murder scene places her on the mob's hit list, she's forced into hiding in a vacant mental asylum in the middle of nowhere with terrifying secrets of its own.

Daphne believed herself to still be in love with her ex-fiancée, Kenneth, until she spends several days locked away in the asylum with Vito, the mob boss' son. Can she put the terrifying events that occurred there behind her and allow herself to pursue a relationship with Vito? Or, will she return to Kenneth who has turned his back on his country by becoming a draft dodger and a black market racketeer? One thing's for sure, it won't matter if she can't escape the mental institution alive.

Book Takeaway:

Sometimes people aren't who we think they are, but if we allow God to work, He will give us the desires of our heart. Not always the way we'd planned, but He is faithful.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book during NaNoWriMo 2010 because I had never written a historical, had one rolling around in my head, and wanted to see if I could write 50,000 words in 30 days. I did it!
