In the chaos of 1914, as the world descends into the bloodiest war in history, two strangers meet where they least expect it - between the silence of the guns.
James Whitmore, a young British soldier, has seen too much death for his years. Elise Dubois, a French nurse, has seen too much pain for her heart to bear. When their paths cross on a battlefield drenched in mud and memories, neither expects to find comfort in the other.
But in a world where tomorrow is never promised, love can be the most dangerous battlefield of all.
From candlelit whispers to the roar of artillery, this is a tale of stolen moments, desperate letters, and a romance that dares to survive the Great War.
When the bullets pause, will their love be enough?
