In this entrancing Gilded Age romance, Inga and Benedict will be swept into a dangerous world on the brink of war, where two hearts must navigate shadows of uncertainty when stars light the sky.

REVIEW
I loved this story! Not only was it interesting to learn about World War 1 from the perspective of those at the American Embassy in Germany, the story of opposites-attract was done fantastically. Inga, the main characters, grew so much in this story. It was neat to see her fun and vivaciousness never go away, even with the threat of war. Even with her optimistic personality, I could empathize with her turmoil as she kept putting off a life-altering decision. The ending was wonderful, unexpected, and it was nice to see characters from the first book in the series make an appearance.
