When Twilight Breaks

Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed--and wake up the folks back home.

In another part of the city, American graduate student Peter Lang is working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind.

NY REVIEW: Author Sarah Sundin's marvelous storytelling skills make for an enthralling read in the pre-WWII Era romantic suspense tale "When Twilight Breaks". In Munich, Germany of the late 1930's, the increasing dominance and brutality of the Nazi regime spreads its cruel grasp throughout the city and beyond. Evelyn Brand, an American working as a foreign correspondent, is treading carefully in the tension-filled city. While longing to bring to light the injustices being wrought by the governing powers against innocent citizens, and wanting to prove her journalistic worth, she is well aware of the high personal cost she might face if she incurs the vengeful Nazi wrath. Peter Lang, an American graduate student, is there in Munich to complete his doctorate in German. At first, Peter is impressed with the seeming order and prosperity compared to rest of the world suffering through the Great Depression. Sparks fly when Evelyn and Peter meet, and they learn much about themselves as they learn about each other. As the attraction grows between them, so does a mutual awareness that they must work together to defeat a burgeoning evil. Will faith, love, and a sense of true moral purpose guide them through the darkness to a brighter future "when twilight breaks"? Highly recommended for lovers of inspirational romantic suspense.
