Queen of Hearts by K. Dawn Byrd

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.




Here's the trailer!

  2. Usually the books you recommend sound great, but Queen of Hearts looks a little creepy. I think I'll pass on this one, but I'm sure it is a great story.

    Queen of Hearts is a romantic suspense, so it's not for everyone. Romantic suspense is what I love to read and it's the most natural genre for me to write. I had a lot of fun with it.

    Sapphire:
    If you order it, I hope you like it.

    MaryLu:

  4. You're welcome, Dawn. I like Romantic suspense too. It's so much more interesting to me than just plain Romance which tends to move too slow for me. Thanks for being here. I pray your book does really well! God Bless

  6. This book intrigues me because of the setting. There aren't that many books out there that takes place in a mental asylum. I would love to read this.
