I had a book for The Pacific before this one with the same title, but then I hated the first one so I'm rewriting it. Enjoy because I have no idea what I'm doing.

A true warrior who persistently fights against the dark memories of her past. Vincent Marino A man who runs the entire underground syndicate. Born and brought up in the treacherous darkness of power struggle, he rose to the top by challenging years of humiliation and brutally vanquishing every opponent in blood. Respect.

One is authoritative. One is headstrong. Each holding a story of their own and both trying to read each other. She has secrets that when break out would tarnish his respect and question his authority while he has rivals who when succeed would shove her back into her terrifying past. When love becomes a double edged sword, with danger lurking right around the corner, can the ignited flames of curiosity break the shackles of their past and melt the ice walls surrounding their heart? Ride along the melancholically beautiful journey of two souls in their pursuit of a home!

The Scars We Share
Before the war, Vivian Becker was defined by the mundane beauty of her life: the laughter shared with friends over weekend drinks, the diligent hours spent poring over textbooks, the comforting predictability of a life lived strictly "by the book." Her first year of university should have been a rite of passage, but instead, it became a crucible that utterly consumed her. The unfolding crisis stripped her bare, tearing away her family, her home, and every last shred of the innocent world she knew. Lieutenant Abel Palmer, on the other hand, had never known such normalcy. His reality was one of perpetual twilight, leading clandestine operations against the monstrous 'echoes' of the war - the grotesque, unknown creatures born from twisted science. A hardened veteran, he was accustomed to dealing with threats, not feeling. Yet, his detached professionalism shattered when his new squad member arrived. She was small, yes, but her spirit was an inferno. Vivian Becker, the girl who lost everything, was finally the one who could challenge the unshakable Lieutenant Palmer. He'd met his match. Now, a world-ending mission looms, demanding their absolute focus. But the burgeoning, undeniable feelings between Abel and Vivian threaten to complicate everything. As their professional boundaries blur, a deeper question emerges: In their desperate pursuit to save humanity, will their growing bond be a strength? Or will their shared, burning desire for revenge consume them, forcing them to choose between global salvation and personal retribution?Lengkap

Yours Truly
[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021Lengkap
The Plague Doctor's Daughter
[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.

Genesis: the Beginning and the End | Band of Brothers
Genesis... ...well Genesis is a spy. She has always been a spy. In occupied France, 1944, the Nazis are so close to finding her. She's so close to being burned, but she manages. She manages to just keep their suspicions off of her. But she needn't for long, as the date of her extraction is drawing near. And as she waits, she wonders "who will I have to be next?" This is the story of Genesis, from her very beginning to her very end. _ "And when the shouting started she would not hesitate, for she was a soldier now and to hesitate meant to die." - There is an eventual canon character x OC, but I shan't tell you who because I'm mean. Just some stuff I need to point out, which I will re-iterate in the first part (the welcome and disclaimer) incase you haven't read this far: There is a lot of SWEARING- like a lot, my OC is a potty mouth. Smoking and alcohol feature fairly heavily - SMOKING is not good for your health, but if you do/are going to smoke, please do so responsibly and safely - ALCOHOL is fine as long as it is consumed responsibly, please don't binge drink as it will seriously damage your body. This story contains GRAPHIC VIOLENCE and MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH because, as you know, Band of Brothers is during WORLD WAR 2 and so there was an awful lot of that.
