Included on Wattpad's HistoricalFiction World Wars reading list. - * - * - * - Being in the French Resistance wasn't what Alice Klein envisioned her life looking like. She'd wanted a husband and a flat in Paris, and maybe a cat with a pink bow who would sleep on her piano. But bullets didn't discriminate between male or female, young or old. Alice knew that better than most. As a half-German, half-French Jew, it seemed no matter where she went, she was hated. To the German army or Vichy France, she was a traitor. To any uneducated Allied soldier, her last name screamed Nazi. When the Maquis heard of the Allies looking for connections to the French Resistance, they'd quickly offered up Alice as a multilingual translator and Underground liaison. Whisked away from the French Alps, she arrived to the States to train as a paratrooper, knowing that failure was not an option no matter how much she disliked it. Lucky for her, she didn't just find barracks and training grounds in America. She found men, and in them, family to replace the one she'd lost. - * - WARNINGS for realistic depictions of world war ii, strong language, era-typical sexism, era-typical anti-semitism, alcohol abuse, cigarette abuse, past sexual assault - * - * - * - Pairing: mostly gen, way down the line it's eventual Lewis Nixon/OC BOOK ONE in [ A Tale of Two Heritages ] Start Date: December 5, 2019 End Date: March 24, 2020 Final Word Count: 150,786 Cross-posted to FFN and Ao3 - * - * - * - #1 in World War Two, #1 in Band of Brothers, #1 in Feminist, #1 in 1940s, #1 in Lewis Nixon FIRST PLACE: Cherry Blossom Awards 2020, Writer's Glory Awards 2020 THIRD PLACE: Historical Fiction in Spice Off Award, Fanfiction in Majestic Inc.

When the USA entered World War 2 after the attack on Pearl Harbor, thousands of men went to enlist in the Armed Forces. Half a year later, the Army announced that they were looking for female volunteers for a special program. And since it is an experimental unit, the Army decides to integrate them in another brand-new unit: The Airborne. Follow a group of extraordinary women who refuse to let anybody stop them from fighting for their country alongside the men.

Ella Sawyer had not expected to end up with Easy Company when she had enlisted as a nurse. But who could have known that the Army decided to experiment with women in combat? Thrown into the world of soldiers and paratroopers, Ella quickly has to prove that strength can have many froms.

In the heart of World War II, amidst the mud, blood, and brotherhood of Easy Company, one woman carves her place in history. Nora Bell, a sharp-witted, compassionate medic from rural Colorado, joins the paratroopers with a quiet determination forged by the war wounds she's seen too close to home. As the only female medic in a sea of men, she earns respect the hard way-through grit, skill, and unshakable loyalty. From the gruelling training fields of Camp Toccoa to the tense, steel bones of the Brooklyn Shipping Yard, Nora builds bonds with the men of Easy-especially with George Luz, the charming radio operator whose humour masks a depth few ever see. As war looms closer, banter turns into trust, and trust into something deeper. But with every step closer to the front lines, both Nora and George must navigate not only the horrors of war but the fragile, blooming connection between them. A slow-burn romance set against the backdrop of brotherhood and battle, Nora Bell explores courage, companionship, and finding love where it's least expected.

Major John "Bucky" Egan, a decorated American pilot with a devil-may-care charm, thrives in the skies where danger and adrenaline keep him alive. But beneath the bravado lies a man haunted by loss and longing, desperate for something real in a world that's falling apart. Margaret Eleanor Whitcomb, a devout nun raised in the quiet confines of a London convent, has dedicated her life to God and her duty as a nurse. Shy, compassionate, and bound by her vows, Margaret has never questioned her purpose-until war brings her to the frontlines, where she meets a man who makes her question everything she believes. When their worlds collide at Thorpe Abbotts, a U.S. airbase on English soil, they find themselves drawn together in defiance of everything that should keep them apart. Their love is a sin, a betrayal of their oaths and their faith, but it is also undeniable. For Margaret, it is a test of her devotion to God and her own heart. For Bucky, it is the one thing that gives him hope in a world consumed by destruction. As the war rages on, so does their forbidden love-a love that burns brighter than the bombs falling from the sky but threatens to destroy them both. Torn between duty and desire, faith and freedom, Margaret and Bucky must decide: Can love truly conquer all, or will the cost of their passion be too great to bear? No God but You is a powerful tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to defy the boundaries set by faith, society, and war. Perfect for readers of historical romance and fans of forbidden love stories, this novel delves deep into the emotional turmoil of two souls finding salvation in each other during the darkest of times.
