Series Title
One fateful night drove three brothers apart.
One fateful day thrusts them together…D-Day.
The three-book series follows three estranged brothers in the events leading up to D-Day. My working series title is Brothers of Liberation.
One fateful night of tragedy and betrayal drove the Paxton brothers apart. Now, as D-Day approaches, they battle the Nazis on the sea, in the air, and on the ground. Three women capture their hearts—a British naval officer striving for acceptance, a Red Cross volunteer searching for purpose, and a librarian longing for family. Will the battles they face lead them to redemption . . . or destruction?
Book Title
Betrayal as deep . . .
Love as mysterious . . .
As the sea before them.
Working Title: The Sea Before Us
Story blurb:
In 1944, American naval officer Lt. Wyatt Paxton arrives in London to prepare for the Allied invasion of France, determined to redeem himself with the brothers he has betrayed. Dorothy Fairfax serves as a “Wren” in the Women’s Royal Naval Service, striving for the love of her bereaved father and of the man she’s always adored, Lawrence Eaton. When Wyatt and Dorothy work together on Allied plans for D-Day, he hopes Dorothy will return his growing love. But will family secrets, misplaced affections—and the seas off Normandy—separate them forever?
Here are some guidelines:
No credit for using my working titles listed above – although you can tell me if you like them!
For the book title, I’d like to use the word “sea” or a similar word, so I can use variations of “air” for Book 2 (a pilot) and “land” for Book 3 (an Army Ranger).
