Something that will plunge her into a completely new war - a war she'd never intended to fight, but has no intention of losing. The war for William Hughes' heart.

Oaths of Blood and Wine by KellyRoseWriter

"Funny, a little word like hope, when good men died young and bloody." *** Nazi-Occupied France is a country divided. World War II rages on, but the French must sit idly by as the Germans take their food, their homes, and their freedom. Trust is a rare occurrence; espionage and lies are tearing Europe apart. And American soldier Percy Caldwell is dropped right in the middle of it. Armed with minimal French, a fake German ID, and a motley crew, Percy must find and protect a famed Nazi-killer, who just happens to be France's greatest hope at liberation. ~ Astride Laurent is a ballerina-turned-vigilante with a fire in her eyes and revenge in her bones. She's captured and interrogated by the Gestapo, but there's a soft spot among the cold, cruel Germans- a soldier named Matthias Heidenreich. Percy, Astride, and Matthias must race against a fascist nation hellbent on killing them all in order to win a war. Between hidden Jews, French traitors, and a borderline sadistic SS major, it's not going to be easy. Inspired by novels like Code Name Verity and The Nightingale, Oaths of Blood and Wine is an action-packed story rich with conflict and secrecy.

He faces living the rest of his life crippled - until he meets Elyria Ormond, a blind woman volunteering at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington DC, offering compassion to soldiers on their deathbeds. Suddenly, their lives are forever changed, and dreams of true love they'd long since given up on are within reach. But Everett soon learns happiness is not a commodity to barter for with good deeds, and there is no escape from the many forms of misery.
