With war raging all around, some battles can't be won...
♠
The year was 1916, Elosie Keller was dwelling in a secluded Belgian cottage where she remained hidden away from the world until the day he fell from the sky...
Drawn to the carnage of a fallen plane, she finds more than rubble when she notices that the pilot is still alive. She knows without medical treatment that the man is fated to die. Acting in a haste, she pulls the man from his destined coffin in hopes to help him live.
Eloise soon finds herself tending a German patient in her hidden home and realizes he isn't the monster the world made him out to be; instead, she begins to see much more than an officer, but a man with a heart just trying to survive a war.
When she is finally discovered by the Germans, she is called upon to become a field nurse for the men on the western front--only to fall into a whirlwind of unfortunate events that she must learn how to survive.
Follow Eloise as she takes on the battle of being a wartime nurse in a man's world, fighting the one enemy that could never be conquered-love...

The Executioner's Wife
Alois swallowed, and the pain of what he had to do eclipsed the burned skin of his wrists and the pulsing throbs of his head. He tried to speak, but he only managed to give a weak gasp. "Please, please, please," Lily implored him, kissing his cheeks, his bushy brow, the corner of his dry lips, still keeping her arms in place over his vulnerable head and neck. His shoulders slumped, and he held her limply. He could not ask for a few more seconds to feel her trembling body against his shattered one, because it would not be enough. He could hold her here for a million years and know that at the end of it he would never see her again, and it still would not be enough... ****** Lily's husband Alois has the most gruesome job in the Realm- serving as their insane king's loyal, royal executioner. Ostracized for her foreign origins and his bloody work, the couple are deeply in love and complacent with the service they provide to the kingdom. That is, until the king orders the execution of his queen and demands that Lily and Alois divorce so he can marry her. The couple's resistance only intensifies the king's madness as they are separated and Lily is made the new queen. But there are greater things at risk, as Lily seeks an escape and Alois fights to rescue her- the kingdom is unwell all over, and the king is madly determined to cure it.Concluida
Echoes of Valor (Book 9 in the Legacy of Love Series)
In the thunderous crucible of World War I, "Echoes of Valor" tells a heart-wrenching tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience against the backdrop of global conflict from 1914 to 1918. At the center of this powerful narrative stands Sophie Laurent, a French nurse working on the brutal Western Front, and William Harrison Larkin, an American fighter pilot who has volunteered to fly with the Lafayette Escadrille, the legendary squadron of American volunteers fighting for France before the United States entered the war. Their paths cross in the chaotic landscape of war, where humanity's deepest vulnerabilities and most extraordinary courage converge. Sophie, haunted by the loss of her brothers in the early days of the war, dedicates herself to saving lives amidst unimaginable carnage. William, a daring pilot from the plains of Kansas, risks everything in the treacherous skies above the Western Front, flying fragile planes in deadly aerial combat. Their initial meeting-a moment of unexpected tenderness in a world consumed by violence-sparks a connection that will be tested by the most extreme circumstances imaginable. As the war rages on, Sophie and William find themselves bound by more than just their shared commitment to survival. His dangerous missions in the skies and her relentless work healing the wounded create a bond that transcends the brutal realities of war. Their love becomes a fragile beacon of hope, flickering against the darkness of a conflict that has already consumed millions of lives. They must navigate the treacherous emotional and physical landscape of war, where every moment could be their last, and where love becomes both a lifeline and a potential source of devastating loss. "Echoes of Valor" is a deeply moving exploration of human resilience, the transformative power of love, and the indomitable spirit that emerges when ordinary people are called to extraordinary moments of courage.Concluida
The Life Of A German Soldier
(Still correcting for errors!) The German soldier goes through many things during his time at war, love, horror, and fear. But every soldier of any side knows that there's only one way out. He'll have to survive the new technologies of warfare. A soldier's greatest strength is bravery and moral that grows and lives in the soul. Soldiers test their strength in battle, the strong ones die as the weak ones run. War is an experience that is limited. We all don't know what it's really like. When you look at a soldier that has been at war, you can see it, its written on their faces and engraved in their eyes. A World War Two fiction story about a young man named Albert Schroeder, a twenty one year old German soldier of the Wehrmacht, has been sent to Western Russia to fight the Soviet Union in the summer of June 1944. In military training in Northern Germany, he meets another soldier named Kurt Smith. Kurt has been his friend since military training until his death in a battle against the Soviets during the early night. After Kurt's death, Albert faces many problems with another death of one of Kurt's friends from high school, Ralph Schäfer that he had just met. Albert will then be taken to a place many soldiers of his kind have gone before, a Russian P.O.W camp and might stay there for most of the war until it is over or will Albert try to escape during the night and go on a huge journey back to Germany?
