Tomorrow is for the brave / by Bowen, Kelly(Romance fiction writer),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."When France falls to Germany in 1940, wealthy socialite Violet St. Croix could honor her parent's wishes and ride out the war on the French Riviera in comfort with lavish parties and couture gowns. Instead she defies the expectations of her time and travels to London to join General de Gaulle's Free French forces. Despite doubts because she's never worked a day in her life, Violet uses her love of driving fast cars to her advantage and eventually proves her worth. With her reputation for nerves of steel and her extraordinary aptitude for navigating dangerous conditions, she earns an assignment driving senior officers for the French Foreign Legion. As the war escalates, Violet finds herself in North Africa as the Allies try desperately to defend the advances of Rommel's Nazi forces. All women are ordered to leave the front but Violet insists on staying and won't abandon the fight. After a series of failures, Violet begins to suspect that there is a traitor in their midst, sabotaging their efforts by providing intel to the enemy. Then her supervising officer dies, and she is certain that it is not an accident but murder, although convincing her colleagues proves nearly impossible. So together with the one man who believes in her and her theory, she must identify the spy. Determining who else to trust in order to survive might just be her most dangerous assignment of all. Based on the true life story of Susan Travers - the only woman to ever serve in the French Foreign Legion - this novel celebrates a daring woman who used her courage and strength of will to not only save lives but save her country"--

A Daughter's Place A Novel [electronic resource] : by Bátiz, Martha.aut; CloudLibrary;
A sweeping historical romance inspired by the real-life daughter of Miguel de Cervantes, celebrated author of Don Quixote Madrid, 1599. Following her mother’s sudden death, fifteen-year-old Isabel goes to live in the family home of her father, the poet and war hero Miguel de Cervantes, a man she has never met. Forced to pose as a maid to conceal her illegitimate status, Isabel must adapt to a new way of life with her jealous cousin and protective aunts while she waits for her father to return from Seville. Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Esquivias, Miguel’s pious and faithful wife Catalina similarly awaits his return, blissfully unaware of Isabel’s existence. As Miguel works on the manuscript that will become his masterpiece, Don Quixote, the years pass and Isabel grows into womanhood, falling in and out love, uncovering family secrets, and yearning for the legitimacy denied her by a rigid and callous society. Capturing two tumultuous decades of Golden Age Spain in rich historical detail, Martha Bátiz paints a compassionate portrait of a family on the precipice of great change—and the fiercely independent woman at its centre striving to make a life of her own.General adult.

At the mountain's edge / by Graham, Genevieve,author.;
"From bestselling author Genevieve Graham comes a sweeping new historical novel of love, tragedy, and redemption set during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. In 1897, the discovery of gold in the desolate reaches of the Yukon has the world abuzz with excitement, and thousands of prospectors swarm to the north seeking riches the likes of which have never been seen before. For Liza Peterson and her family, the gold rush is a chance for them to make a fortune by moving their general store business from Vancouver to Dawson City, the only established town in the Yukon. For Constable Ben Turner, a recent recruit of the North-West Mounted Police, upholding the law in a place overrun with guns, liquor, prostitutes, and thieves is an opportunity to escape a dark past and become the man of integrity he has always wanted to be. But the long, difficult journey over icy mountain passes and whitewater rapids is much more treacherous than Liza or Ben imagined, and neither is completely prepared for the forbidding north. As Liza's family nears the mountain's peak, a catastrophe strikes with fatal consequences, and not even the NWMP can help. Alone and desperate, Liza finally reaches Dawson City, only to find herself in a different kind of peril. Meanwhile, Ben, wracked with guilt over the accident on the trail, sees the chance to make things right. But just as love begins to grow, new dangers arise, threatening to separate the couple forever. Inspired by history as rich as the Klondike's gold, At the Mountain's Edge is an epic tale of romance and adventure about two people who must let go of the past not only to be together, but also to survive."--
