A spy whose secrets might kill. The mercenary she's sworn to protect. A destiny written in the stars.

CIA operative Kate Devlin has a problem: She may have created a terrorist.

These things happen in the world of espionage, and it might not be so bad if her accidental terrorist wasn't neck-deep in plots against American targets in Yemen. To make matters worse, he has orders to kill Nick Cavanaugh, a security consultant who insists that he has everything under control.

But nothing is under control. Not in Yemen. And certainly not in the Sanaa compound where Kate and Nick find themselves reluctant housemates. They butt heads over everything, but especially over the wisdom of creating terrorists. Kate's not too proud to admit that he might have a point, but good intentions count for something. Tempting though it is to hand him over to the bad guys herself, she just might miss him if he were gone.

As civil war looms and a new breed of extremism spawns from the desert, Kate puts it all on the line in pursuit of what matters most—saving Nick and freeing her terrorist. Will they survive, or will her secrets cost their lives?

The Stars Refuse to Shine is the first novel in a series featuring Kate, Nick, and their motley crew of friends on rollicking adventures in foreign lands. If you enjoy action, adventure, humor, and a love that conquers all, you'll love Lynn Mason's The Sandstorm Series.
