Windswept WW1 Saga

He thought he'd left the war behind. But the past never stays buried. In the desolation of the desert in 1934 Egypt, archaeologist and former codebreaker Jack Darby receives a message that upends everything: his estranged sister is missing. So is Kit-the woman he once loved and believed dead. Determined to find them, Jack uncovers a trail of clues leading from coded newspaper articles to the dusty heart of Mesopotamia, where political unrest brews and an elusive mercenary is brokering secrets that could ignite a war. Drawn into a tangled web of espionage, smuggling, and betrayal, Jack must outwit enemies on both sides of the law, while grappling with a dazzling con artist who just might break his heart all over again. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes some secrets aren't meant to stay hidden-and some people aren't meant to stay lost . . . including him. A Spark in Ashes is the fourth novel in The Windswept Saga and the first book in a spinoff trilogy about fan favorite character, Jack Darby. A story of spies, family drama, romance, and epic adventure, it is set in the interwar period of the 1930s in Egypt and the Middle East. This novel contains violence, mild language, and romantic, open-door steamy moments.
