Kitty’s War
by Barbara Whitaker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Seeking
adventure, shy Kitty Greenlee joins the Women's Army Corps. In 1944 England, as
secretarial support to the 8th Air Force, she encounters her dream man, a
handsome lieutenant who only has eyes for her blonde friend. Uncomfortable
around men, Kitty doesn't think the handsome officer could want someone like
her.
Recovering
from wounds, Ted Kruger wants to forget about losing his closest friends and
have fun before returning to danger as a bomber navigator. When Ted recognizes
Kitty as the girl who rescued him two years before, he must choose between
dating the sexy blonde or pursuing quiet, serious-minded Kitty even though he
knows he's not nearly good enough for her.
As the war gears up with the D-Day invasion, will Kitty and Ted
risk their hearts as well as their lives?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
It’s
all part of the adventure.
Corporal
Katherine Ilene Greenlee had reminded herself all the way across the Atlantic.
The thrill of exciting voyages to exotic locations had spurred her to volunteer
for overseas duty. After fourteen days on a rolling ship with her stomach
churning like the waves in a storm, she wasn’t so sure about her decision.
She
stumbled onto the gangplank. The heavy duffle bag, balanced precariously on her
shoulder, toppled forward and bumped the girl in front of her. One hand went
instinctively to her head to keep the steel helmet from falling as she regained
her equilibrium.
“Watch
it,” the girl complained.
Katherine
drew a deep, fortifying breath and straightened under the weight of the bag
plus all her other gear. She held tighter, determined to carry it all despite
her screaming muscles and roiling stomach.
If
she had learned anything in this woman’s army, it was to carry her own load and
not ask for help. There had been times when she hadn’t thought she was strong
enough to make the grade, but stubborn determination kept her going. She had to
prove to herself and everyone else that she could do it.
By
rights she shouldn’t be here at all, shouldn’t even be in the Women’s Army
Corps. No one knew the truth, no one except her brother, who wouldn’t dare
tell, and her father, who’d been so certain she’d fail that he’d let her go
without a word of objection.

AUTHOR BIO:
Barbara grew up in a small town in Tennessee
where the repeated stories of local and family history became embedded in her
psyche. Fascinating tales of wartime, from her parents and her in-laws,
instilled an insatiable curiosity about World War II. After retiring from her
sensible career in accounting, she began full time pursuit of her lifelong love
of historical romantic fiction. Enjoying every minute of research, Barbara
spends hours reading, watching old, black-and-white movies and listening to big
band music.
Although
Barbara and her husband have been longtime residents of Florida, they both still
think of Tennessee as "home." Visit Barbara's website at
