And it's every week now that they pick a new town for the draft.

***

Yet, when Adeline somehow finds herself stuck on the front lines because of her brother, she faces a difficult choice. 

Love comes with sacrifice, but is Adeline willing to bet everything on it?

(Book 2- COMPLETED) Sequel to Untouched. This story will make more sense if you read Untouched first. Kit and Zach are determined to put as much distance between them and their settlements as possible. Kit is running from her captors. Zach is running from rejection. The only problem is sometimes you can't escape your previous life, no matter how far you run. What happens when Kit and Zach venture off into a world that has been destroyed by a pandemic? A lot. Side note: - References to sex but no sex scenes (there's lots of other stories on Wattpad to get that fix from- I know from personal experience ;) ) - References to abuse (this story is going to be a bit darker than my previous one)

TEARS OF THE FOOT GUARDS by timosner
74 parts Complete Mature
A lively, yet dark and polemic retelling of the American Revolution through the unapologetic eyes of women and soldiers in the British Army, a two-time finalist in the Faulkner/Wisdom Literary Contest for the Novel and Novel-In-Progress categories. Something very different on a familiar subject. 1776 - America in Riots. Civil War. Crush it. And when finished, give the damn Americans what they want. So comes the great army, and with it, his Majesty's personal host, the Brigade of Guards, to fight a war they cannot lose. They bring their women. Obedience Gill, the "handsomest Woman on the Ration", loses her soldier husband on the crossing to America. Good riddance. "Obedience", her father named her, a child of the Great Awakening and "an Age" at 24. In truth, she's running, having lived many lives. And now, in the midst of a fierce army, she's alone. God, to be alone, even in this alien country. This strange America. This roiling, boiling America. But someone's after her, a Coldstream grenadier, Thomas Elliot, with a murderous past. In her past. To her protection comes guileless man-child, Geordie MacEachran, Third Guardsman, whose loyalty is to the Guards above all else . . . Until Obedience. And he's struck, as sure as a Rebel ball to the heart. In New York, Obedience, a tavern singer with an extraordinary voice, is noticed by the officer class, and by talent, luck, and wiles, experiences a meteoric rise, to her fame, to her peril. Geordie seeks to hold her. Elliot wants her life. But Obedience has other plans as the American rebellion fulminates into a global conflict to threaten Britain's very existence. War, sex, and power. Enlightenment and religion. Racism and sexism. Military tribes.
