Explore the exotic side of WWII in 'Jasmine Nights'

Touring the small clubs and talent contests of Wales, naïve young singer Saba Tarcan jumps at an opportunity to travel with a touring group entertaining troops serving in the Middle East, where she is tapped by the Secret Service to spy on a Turkish impresario and where she reconnects with a flight-obsessed fighter pilot.  This is the plot of Jasmine Nights, a new novel that Publishers Weekly calls a "steamy, sweeping historical."  World War II stories are they're a dime-a-dozen, but the setting and the writing make this one feel completely original; historical fiction readers should definitely check it out.
