Lilas Taha

Shadows of Damascus Lilas Taha

A story of intrigue, emotional upheaval, danger, hidden love, misunderstandings, and unexpected events. Honor, pain, solitude. These are things Adam Wagener knows all about. Warmth, love? Those he never masters. But the war veteran is trying to make peace with his past, and he is one who keeps his word. Adam owes the man who saved his life in Iraq. He doesn't question the measure of the debt, even when it is in the form of an emotionally distant, beautiful woman. Yasmeen agreed to become the wife of a complete stranger so she could flee her war-torn country. She counted on staying in the US for a few months until she could safely return home. Beyond survival, there was one thing she did not count on: wanting more. Is it too late for Adam and Yasmeen to overcome their circumstances?
