The Way Back ~ Band of Brothers 

A young woman who struggles with her past, finding herself clouded in darkness, wishing someone would pull her out. 

--------------

Lia Creed has been at her own kind of war for nearly her entire life. At ten, her life is torn apart. At eighteen, she is thrown into a world war. At twenty-one, she meets Easy Company. 

Having her life turned over at a young age, Lia was turned into a stone cold soldier. The things she's seen, the things she's done. They haunt her, bringing her a long way from the cheerful little girl she once was. When she is thrown into a group of rowdy paratroopers, she suddenly finds herself hoping they can show her the way back.

DREA (GxG) by xJadesx

Mrs Julia Robinson, the wife of American figure skating Olympian Adrian Robinson, is nervous about finally meeting her husband's family. After two years of marriage living in Amsterdam, they've decided it's time to move back to Virginia and give Julia the opportunity to meet the rest of her husband's family. The most important of them all is his close sister and best friend, Adreanna Jones. The flight to Virginia was long, but the car ride to Adreanna's house was short. Despite the short distance, the couple never made it there. Julia wakes up in a hospital, broken and alone. She learnt that they'd been in an accident that claimed her husband's life and sent her into a coma for 12 days. Heartbroken, depressed and disabled, she found herself stranded in a foreign country with no one to lean on. Or so she thought. Adreanna loved her brother more than anyone in the world. He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3

West [ COMPLETED ] by AllegraFair

*UNDERGOING EDITING AND SMALL CHANGES RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes. I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. •~•~•~•~•~•~••~~• Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in. The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado. The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back. She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans. Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard, but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about. PG-13

Erika- A War torn Love by KellyAlmandChinn

Erika is thrown into a war she never asked to be part of nor agrees with. She lives in a family who have already suffered the loss of a mother, a step-mother and now face the loss of land and further life due to war. She is curious, which leads her to see unspeakable events. In the woods she begins to see the true horrors of the war, witnessing the murdering of Jews, and the rounding up of communities. Her best friend is caught and raped by the soldiers which leads her to exact revenge on those responsible. From this day she helps the British and resistance troops in any way she can, leaving food, providing safe passage through the woods and town and helping Jews out of the area. In doing this she meets an English soldier whom she falls in love with. The war however forces them to be parted. As Erika comes of age she joins the Werhmacht. She tries to continue in her efforts not to support the war, but finds this increasingly difficult when she meets a German soldier who sweeps her off her feet. This makes her monetarily question what she has done and is doing. She thinks that she falls in love with him, until he becomes aware of her efforts against the war. Following her failed relationship, she learns her brother has been killed and returns home to relay the news to her father. The war soon ends after this and life begins to return to normal, she goes to a dance and meets Eric again and realises he truly is the one she loves. This book was inspired by stories told to me as a child by my Grandmother, Erika. She died before this book was written, therefore much of the filling information making this into a story is fictional, however the essence of her, the stories she told and the life she lived are the soul of the book.

- 𝐖𝐀𝐑 had been a ghost in her home long before she ever set foot on the battlefield. Anzalya Iosifovna Aistova grew up in its shadow, in the quiet weight of her father's silence, in the haunted look that never quite left his eyes. By fifteen, she understood what most never would-the way war didn't just break men on the battlefield, but long after they'd come home. She swore she would heal, not harm. That was the promise she made when she signed up for the Nurse Corps. But war had other plans. Somewhere between the shifting tides of duty and desperation, she found herself not in the sterile safety of a field hospital but in the chaos of the front lines. The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment-Easy Company. A medic, yes, but something else, too. A soldier in disguise. She learned to fight as well as she could heal, because out there, under fire, sometimes saving a life meant taking another. And she was a good shot. A damn good shot. War had taken so much from her already. What more could it ask for? She was about to find out. 𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦! 𝐎𝐂 #1 in fighter #2 in worldwar #4 in medic

Rainmaker (Logince) by LightningLemon

"Time travel hasn't yet been invented, but 30 years from now, it will have been." In a world like this one but slightly to the left, time travel exists, but only for those who committed felonies against the government. Those criminals are sent back in time at a specific time stamp to carefully stationed assassins called "Loopers" who lie and wait to kill whoever is sent back to them and collect their pay. Roman Prince is one of those said loopers, and he does his job quite well, until his target is sent back later than expected. And to make matters worse, his target, Logan Berry, brings mysteries of the future and secrets of himself that are far too intriguing to simply extinguish with a bullet to the head. In the span of a few minutes, his life is turned upside down, not with the harsh realities of what he's doing, but with the encouragement to get out of this sickening job that he hates. Will Roman and Logan escape their seemingly cemented places in time with their lives? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Based off of the movie "Looper" (2012) with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

For years, Kiran Matek and her family have lived in the shadow of fear-fear of war raging across the ocean, fear of the unrest brewing at home. Then tragedy strikes, and fear is no longer enough. In its place, desperation takes hold, sweeping Kiran into a storm of choices she never imagined she'd have to make. In a world unravelling at the seams, she is left with one question: To be or not to be? "Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry. All that blood was never once beautiful. It was always just red." -Kait Rokowski This book is inspired by the HBO series Band of Brothers and is in no way intended to dishonour the men who fought in this brutal war.
