G.I. Jane #5

When Private Jane Whirly stretches the truth about her rank to impress a charming naval commander at a charity bazaar, she finds herself swept up in an invitation to dine aboard ship with Admiral Forenaft himself—complete with a field promotion to Major for the occasion. As the day unfolds with one comedic mishap after another, including an unplanned swim overboard, Jane must juggle her real identity, her temporary rank, and the rules keeping enlisted personnel and officers apart. It's a laugh-filled Cinderella story with a midnight deadline that hits a little too close to home.

When two G.I.'s rope P.X.
