The Sergeant ||BOOK ONE||

Kentucky, 1942. Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor just one month earlier. Men across the United States are lining up outside recruitment centers to defend their country -- and among them is one woman, Rowan Campbell. Born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains, she decides to give up her sheltered life to defend her country, even when her family doubts her. She expects many things in the army -- grueling training, horrific enemies, nearly impossible fights -- but Sergeant James Barnes? She never could have imagined him, nor the effect he would have on her life. Can their love endure the danger that surrounds them at every moment?

**DISCLAIMERS** This story started out as a self-insert written on my phone; thus, the main character and her family are modeled after my own. Also, I have little to no idea how the army works, so any inaccuracies in that regard are unintentional. I do not own Marvel or any of their films. I hope you guys enjoy the story! There will be more ahead!
