Oaths of Blood and Wine
"Funny, a little word like hope, when good men died young and bloody." *** Nazi-Occupied France is a country divided.

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.

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.Complete

A character believes they are going to be raped. Some sexual innuendos. A teenage character does illegal drugs and drinks on page. Some on page violence. Children commit crimes on page and are encouraged to do so by adults. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. More information below if needed, there are spoilers: A female character believes a male character is going to rape them. This goes on for the majority of the book. There is no violence and the other character never intends to commit rape, however it is implied that he is aware the female character is upset and does not seem to care, however he ceases advances when he realizes she is genuinely afraid of him and not merely nervous. That said the female character spends most of the book contemplating escaping the situation by whatever means necessary.Complete
