Southampton, 1944. Amidst bombed-out buildings and the arrival of American troops, Maggie Evans longs for more than the drudgery of factory work and the constant threat of air raids. So when Maggie meets Staff Sergeant Steve Rossi, a charismatic American, his whispered promises soon sweep her off her feet. But as they grow closer, she sees another side to him and wonders if he has an ulterior motive . . .

Joshua Lewis is everything Steve is not — a kind-hearted black soldier from Mississippi who faces prejudice with quiet strength. Their friendship brings Maggie solace and hope, but as they grow closer, Steve’s prejudice sparks tension that threatens to shatter their lives. With D-Day approaching, Maggie finds herself torn between duty and the stirrings of forbidden love. Now the stakes are higher than ever as she is forced into making an impossible decision. The world is at war, but inside the heart of Maggie, a different kind of battle rages . . .

Can she find the courage to follow her heart?
