-- “The General’s Princess” by Caryn Hacker-Buechel has been released worldwide. This 540-page romantic thriller, which has achieved Amazon Bestseller status as #6 in the “War Fiction (Kindle Store)” category, #11 in the “War & Military Action Fiction (Kindle Store)” category, and #14 in the “Love Triangle Romance eBooks” category, follows the harrowing, twisting story of two unlikely people who find romance among the chaos of a deadly conflict. Cara Hart, a middle-aged divorcee who has expatriated to Saudi Arabia to work for the royal family, and General Sam Kennedy, the leader of a Special Forces team tasked with rescuing a kidnapped American, find themselves thrown into a web of conspiracy and danger.
As they navigate the perils of a human trafficking ring, they also develop an undeniable connection that could transform both of their lives – but to embrace their blossoming love, they’ll each have to confront painful pasts and survive long enough to enjoy their potential future together.
Deftly balancing intrigue and action with a tender and tenuous love story, Hacker-Buechel weaves a heart-pounding tale that keeps readers engaged at multiple levels. Drawing inspiration from her career as a psychotherapist, she imbues each character with emotional depth, idiosyncrasy, and authenticity that brings each scene to life with vivid detail.
This commitment to accuracy and authenticity extends across every facet of the novel. Retired Brigadier General Ed Dyer served as a consultant to ensure that the actions and attitudes of military personnel reflect real-world scenarios from active deployment to the White House Situation Room. Joe Courtemanche, the audiobook’s narrator, served as a United States Navy linguist and lends further authenticity to the characters’ distinct voices.
One reader called the novel “a masterful exploration of human resilience, the scars of trauma, and the unyielding pursuit of justice, all woven into a narrative so compelling that it lingers long after the final page.” While the story largely follows the challenges faced by Cara and General Kennedy, it also tackles serious topics facing society with patience and respect. Through the events of the novel, readers see firsthand the damage and devastation caused by the global plague of human trafficking, the lasting pain of sexual abuse, the effects of combat trauma, and the lingering guilt and shame that can hinder the healing process. The ever-changing, lifelong complexities of sensual and sexual expression are also explored on the novel’s pages.
Hacker-Buechel brings these difficult topics into the light with courage and care, exploring the widespread effects of trauma while demonstrating the gradual process of healing through connection, attachment, and trust.
The story spans beauty and drama, sensuality and violence, danger and the complexities of human emotion, all underpinned by Cara’s incredible resilience. This dynamic, unforgettable novel is both a romantic thrill ride and a profound examination of what it means to be human.
The General’s Princess (ISBN: 9781965340066) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The paperback retails for $25.99, the ebook retails for $2.99, and the audiobook is available through Audible. Review copies and interviews with the author are available upon request.
