Book description: "Based on true accounts of female entertainers used as spies during World War II, Jasmine Nights is a story of danger, secrets, and love set in two exotic cities, Cairo and Istanbul during WWII.
Saba Tarcan knows her only hope of escaping the clamor of Cardiff Bay, Wales, lies in her voice. While traveling Britain, singing for wounded soldiers, Saba meets fighter pilot Dom Benson, recovering from burns after a crash. When Saba auditions to entertain troops in far-off lands, Dom follows her to London. Saba is sent to sing in Africa, and Dom is assigned a new mission in the Middle East. As Saba explores Cairo’s bazaars, Dom returns to the cockpit, thrilled and terrified to be flying above the desert floor. In spite of great danger, the two resolve to reunite.
Saba agrees to help the British Secret Service, concealing her role from Dom. Her decision will jeopardize not only her safety but also the love of her life." (publisher)
