Book Description
The tragedy of war is measured by destruction, death, and heartache. In the end, politicians negotiate, and soldiers come home. But the seldom-discussed tragedy of captivity leaves deep and lasting scars in those who return as well as in their families. Prisoners of war suffer immeasurable humiliation and pain at their captors' hands. Historically, the mortality rate for American POWs averages 12 percent. The one exception was the POWs held in North Korea from 1950 to 1953; they died at a rate of 42 percent, nearly four times more than any other war. Letters from a Captive Heart is not a war story, as little of the tale takes places on the battlefield. It's a story of honor, strength, and heartbreak in the POW camps of North Korea and back home in America's heartland. This historical novel starkly portrays the contrast between the innocence of the early 1950s in rural Kentucky and the horrific reality of the POW camps. In this moving and poignant saga about the effects of war, we find there is nothing more fragile than a captive's heart and nothing more powerful than its story of survival.

Book Description
The Dark Crescent Sisterhood #6 As Sybils—protector warrior “witches”—they control the Elements...But passion is a force that no one can contain. Being the only fully trained water Sybil is a big responsibility, which leaves Andy Myles too busy defending New York from flesh-eating Rakshasha demons and dealing with a personal tragedy to even think about entrusting her broken heart to the wrong man. So the last thing she needs is the FBI’s overbearing adviser for Manhattan Occult Crimes Unit, Jack Blackmore whose Army-tough attitude and critical ways are working her last nerve. Honestly, she she could just drown him in a tidal wave of her water energy—except for the one small fact that she can’t stop thinking about kissing him. A lot. What is it about hating a man that makes him so hot? Jack’s 100% percent human and 200% tough. He’s never come across a problem he couldn’t solve bullets, steel and his own two hands. But now he finds himself fighting beside warrior witches who can kill with just a snap of their fingers and he seems powerless to defend his heart against a wild woman with kisses that taste like sweet southern rain. But as a wave of evil takes hold over the city, Jack has only one opportunity to put an end to the all of the violence—and win Andy’s love. “The finale of this trilogy in Windsor’s Dark Crescent Sisterhood series races out the gate and never looks back. From the first, Andy Myles has been a fan favorite, so seeing her finally get her due is hugely satisfying. Windsor’s skill and talents are on full display as she gives the readers exactly what they want: thrilling tales filled with action, passion and gut-wrenching emotion! Brava!” -RT Book Review
