Description
They only had one night together-a stolen interlude at the 1936 Olympics. After Mark Driscoll challenged Armin Truchsess von Kardenberg to a good-natured fencing match, there was no resisting each other. Though from different worlds-an Iowa farm boy and a German aristocrat-they were immediately drawn together, and it was an encounter neither has ever forgotten. Now it's 1944, and a plane crash in hostile territory throws them back together, but on opposite sides of a seemingly endless war. Facing each other as opponents is one thing. As enemies, another thing entirely. And to make matters worse, Mark is a POW, held in a cold, remote castle in Germany... in a camp run by Armin. They aren't the young athletes they were back then. The war has taken wives, limbs, friends, leaving both men gray beyond their years, shell-shocked, and battered. The connection they had back then is still alive and well, though, and from the moment Mark arrives, they're fencing again-advancing, retreating, testing defenses. Have they been given a second chance? Or have time and a brutal war broken both men beyond repair?
