My Enemy, My Friend

I courted my wife with during the Iranian Revolution.  This Historical Romantic Fiction is based on our story. The Revolution made an appropriate setting for what I went through. As my own worst enemy, I identified with both the Iranian Imam who needed an American enemy's help to defeat the Shah and the American politician who needed the Imam's help to defeat an incumbent American President.
It is 1978. The Shah of Iran is in trouble. Barney Rosen returns to Iran to work for the US State Department. Barney's performance during his last tour of duty in Iran had cost him his wife, his job and his self-respect. Barney now carries messages between agents of the Iranian Imam and agents of the American politician.
But Barney also needs his inner enemy's help for himself.  Barney's new job brings him face-to-face with Sarah Atkinson. For Barney to win Sarah's love, he has to defeat the enemy he carries within and enlist the help of the Iranian who has witnessed his disgrace.
Although this book is Historical Romantic Fiction, it is based on my own experiences in Iran during the Revolution and observations of people no longer available for comment.
