When Enemies Collide: The Remarkable Christmas Truce of World War I
In the merciless shadow of World War I, where nations are torn apart and hatred runs deep, two young souls find themselves caught in a war not only of guns-but of hearts. Isabella, a fierce and compassionate nineteen-year-old nurse from Italy, tends to the broken and dying, desperate to save lives in a world falling apart. When her beloved homeland enters the war against Austria-Hungary, her heart shatters-because the boy she secretly loves fights on the other side. Lukas, a twenty-year-old Austro-Hungarian soldier, carries the weight of battle scars and shattered dreams. He never imagined that amidst the mud and blood, he would find a love so fierce it defies borders, uniforms, and the brutal rules of war. Their stolen moments-shared under the cold stars in the no man's land-are filled with whispered promises, trembling touches, and a passion too dangerous to admit aloud. But as the war drags on, their forbidden love becomes the ultimate rebellion against a world bent on tearing them apart. In a time when every choice could mean betrayal or death, Isabella and Lukas must decide if love is worth the cost. Between Two Fronts is a hauntingly beautiful tale of passion, sacrifice, and hope-a reminder that even in the darkest trenches, love can ignite the fiercest flame.Complete
Wildflowers In The Ruins: A 1917 Story
Completed fan fiction for the film 1917: This is the very first fan fiction I've ever attempted. Please be kind. I hope you like it. It features all of the main characters, several of the others, plus many I've created. Northern France, April 1917: A Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse is sent on an urgent mission across no-man's land accompanying two Lance Corporals, but she will have her own mission to fullfil also and be tested in ways she never deemed possible. Each chapter is named after a flower, relevant to the story, and that you can encounter growing in the wild, either in Britain or Northern France, with the exception of roses and Sweet William's. This story does contain spoilers from the film so it's really worth watching it first. Chapers two (from around halfway through) to eight I've taken directly from the film. The script is copyrighted to Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, although I've worked from what's spoken in the film rather than off the script. I've taken inspiration from other films, television and books (fiction and non-fiction) set in the First World War too such as Forgotten Voices, The Roses Of No-Man's Land, War Horse, The Crimson Field, Private Peaceful, They Shall Not Grow Old, Testament Of Youth, Journey's End and Birdsong. I've also taken inspiration from the beautiful book A Song For Will which is based on the true story of the gardeners and labourers from the Heligan Estate in Cornwall. Every character who isn't featured in the film 1917 is fictitious and the names are entirely made-up, although every female character's Christian name in my story belongs to a female relative of mine who was alive at the time of the First World War, for example my four Great-grandmothers were Mary-Jane, Lavinia, Ada and Alice. The other names were from my Great and Great-Great-Aunts. Enjoy. ❤ 🌺 ☘ 🌻 💖 🍂 🌿 🌼 💗 🌲 🌸 🍃 💕 🌹 🌱 ⚘💝 🌳 🏵 💮 💌 🌾 💐 🍁 💞 🍀Complete

Timeless | Masters of the Air
Ruby Jane never expected to wake up in the middle of a war she once only knew through the safety of a screen. Pulled into the world of the 100th Bomb Group during WWII, she quickly finds herself at Thorpe Abbots, serving as a nurse in the infirmary. At first, survival means keeping her head down, treating the endless flow of wounded, hiding her knowledge of what's to come, and guarding her heart against bonds she cannot afford to make. But bonds form anyway. Two men weave themselves into her life. One with quiet constancy, the other with teasing wit and unexpected tenderness. Ruby learns the meaning of waiting, of holding her breath each time the men she cares for disappear into the sky, and of the agony when not all of them return. Torn between past regrets and the fragile chance of something new, Ruby must face not only the war outside, but the battles within her own heart.
