Love Along The Shores by Cara Putman

1942 Ocracoke, Outer Banks, NC. An area in the US that was under siege during the war, where U-boats were sinking our ships. The Coast Guard was constantly on the alert there. Lauren is a native of the island, John, a friend of her brother, is stationed there. Events bring them together that they have to work through, each with a strong faith of their own, in the country's and area's defense. Interesting story with lots of depth, although a small part of it. Very much looking forward to more of the stories in this collection!

A Healer's Promise by Misty M. Beller

February 1815 Rocky Mountains, Rupert’s Land (Canada)

It's just after the Revolutionary War ended. Levi, a Brit, followed a former enemy back home, where he claimed there was a large deposit of a mineral that would win a war. Levi had to be sure how or if it might be used. When he's spotted outside the village, he's quickly taken captive, with his fate to be decided by these people. The people live within the mountain in a large cave that they carved apartments out inside. Interesting read with very believable characters. In depth story line of Audrey as a healer for Levi after a series of events. They spend a great deal of time together in another cave after Audrey helps Levi to escape, and he's injured. Good read.

The Watchmaker's Daughter by Dianne Haley

Switzerland 1942

I've always thought of Switzerland as being neutral. Just that. Anyone who went there was safe. Not very true at this time. Germany was threatening to invade, people were trying to escape from bordering countries and Switzerland didn't want to anger the Germans or be responsible for taking care of the refugees. There were Swiss police, the Swiss Army and Allies. Everyone was walking their own tightrope. Valerie's father was a watchmaker, needing to continue his business to support him and his daughter and make as many sales as possible. They had to be nice to everyone.
Valerie felt the need to help Jews and the Resistance. Philippe is in the Swiss Army, excels in leadership but is not in charge, assigned to special work with maps of their defense system. It's a dangerous time for all of them, especially when things aren't right and suspicions run high, people are being killed. And things are going on all around them both that they don't know about, friends and foes become mixed up. Tense, intense reading, constantly pulling at your heart strings. Hard to put down.
