True War Romances #9

A young singer chasing stardom agrees to a calculated romance with a decorated soldier to secure the publicity she needs for her career—but as Shiela performs for battle-weary troops overseas and grows closer to Brad Taylor, she finds herself questioning whether ambition alone can satisfy the heart.

From a girls' school dance setup comes an unexpected romance when Nina meets Private Danny Wells—but their budding love is threatened by a secret she's been keeping about her family's military legacy.

Now Nina must find a way to bridge the gap between the man she loves and the family tradition that's kept them apart.

A young woman named Jeanne believes she's cursed—every soldier she's loved has been lost to war—so when she falls for Sergeant Keller Manning during his furlough, she pushes him away to save his life, even if it means breaking both their hearts.
