Book excerpt: Lucky had held the Burmese rubies in his hands and felt the warmth from the cut Pigeon blood rubies. Now they were rubies lost. He had let them go but now he longed to reclaim them. Will he get them back? A dangerous clandestine World War II mission was demanding all his concentration. Can Lucky survive this perilous venture? Lucky is flooded with memories of Julie, his childhood next-door neighbor and the love of his life. At the innocent age of five it had all started when he stole a kiss. Lucky is tested by the great Depression, World War II and life's temptations. This tall Swede of Viking blood is all macho male, but when it concerns his childhood girlfriend, Julie, his tender side is evident. About the Author Survived the Great Depression.
