Light in a Hollow Place is the final book in Vicki Gaia's World War II Trilogy, Warring Hearts. In a Parisian hospital, Richard Hart fears that his blindness may be permanent, as well as the nightmarish episodes. Faced with his disability and fearing he's losing his grip on his sanity, the last person he wishes to see is his fiancée, Claire O'Neill. Claire comes to Paris, convinced her love will lead Richard through this, and resolute about starting their life together after the war.

But as Richard's episodes grow worse, he pushes Claire further away. When a dashing stranger shows an interest in Claire, she fears the gulf between her and Richard may be too great to overcome. German Ratlines, puzzle boxes, love triangles, and intrigue lead up to the final conclusion of Warring Hearts.

After the liberation of Paris, high-ranking Nazis begin to flee the continent rather than face trial for their war crimes. Richard's friend and handler, Leslie Havens, is in Paris to stop them, and force them to answer to justice. Although Richard's eyesight returns, his episodes become debilitating. To get his mind off his problems, he convinces Leslie to let him help in the case.

Together they set out to discover who is behind the German ratline in France.

Suspicious that his father's in Paris, Richard doesn't believe for one second that he's here for humanitarian purposes, and to assist in cataloguing stolen artworks to get them to their rightful owners. Eduard Roth's propensity towards illegal activities makes him a leading suspect.

Leslie Havens has his own problems when his ex-lover, Frank Simon, arrives. Unbeknownst to Frank, Leslie brought along his present lover, Aaron Stein, to keep his bed warm. Torn between the lover with him now, and the one he never forgot, Leslie must come to terms with his true desire.

Puzzle boxes, relationship triangles, ratlines and intrigue lead up to the final conclusion of Warring Hearts.

I'll be checking back online, but first, I need to go get a strong cup of coffee! I'm on vacation, enjoying the beach. This morning I woke up to a foggy coastline :) It beats the intense heat of Arizona, and I'm enjoying the cooler weather. It usually burns off by the late morning, and then it's walks on the beach and breathing in the wonderful salt air. Love it!

Happy Reading!
