Love in the Heat of War by Ukachi Uwadinobi

What did Collette Durand, a beautiful 38-year-old French widow find in the life of a young black prisoner of war, roughly half her age that turned her humanitarian mission in a Nigerian military prison into a secret affair, that threatened to explode into an international scandal in the middle of a civil war?

She had moved to Africa to find a new purpose for her life after the tragic loss of her Caucasian French husband in a ghastly auto accident in Paris, France. But what she found instead, became an alluring mystery that defied logic, even for the young Biafra POW, Udochukwu Abara, caught in the middle of a blurry line between the compassion and passion of a widow. In his twisted ordeal in captivity, his fate hangs precariously in the balance, as the strange new relationship takes a dramatic turn resulting in episodic tentacles stretching across the Continents of Africa and Europe neither of them could foresee. The mysteries of love in an unfamiliar terrain for both of them is a long journey without a known destination. Where and how it ends is a riveting conundrum of war, inter-racial tension, and the raw emotions of the human heart.
