Product Description The most complicated thing about Lt. Evelyn Blake's Army nursing career is that she has to tell her parents that she's accepted a dashing English pilot's hand in marriage. But when Evelyn's transport plane crashes just hours before one of the biggest operations of World War Two, Evelyn Blake finds herself Missing In Action. Evelyn Blake's adventure finds her forced into Operation Market Garden, where she teams up with a rag tag band of American paratroopers and their brave but infuriating Lieutenant to escape the Germans. But, when Evelyn returns back to her own unit, she is ordered to forget the men who saved her life. Missing in Action is a wartime romance that spans the war in Europe. Lt. Evelyn Blake is a plucky flight nurse, who's experienced in war, but naive in love. Her fiancé, Victor Wellington, is her ideal prince charming, both a Lord and a dashing RAF pilot. But, is he any match for Lt. Patrick Mitchell, All-American officer and sometimes gentleman, who finds Evelyn hiding from the Germans in a cafe in Holland. Rumors swirl. Did Lt. Evelyn Blake really kill five Germans? How about those two marriage certificates? Only Lt. Mitchell and his men know for sure. About the Author My fascination with WWII started at an early age, perhaps because my grandfather fought in the war, or perhaps because my dad, like most of the baby boomers, grew up watching war movies. In either case, the 1940's era was always fascinating to me. Beyond the war itself, I've been intrigued by the fashion, movies, and music of the era. Today, if you visit my house, it's hard to miss my love of the 1940's, from the book shelves lined with dusty old books, to the vintage photographs, and the phonograph in the dinning room. On any given night, if I'm not writing, I'm probably watching a 1940's movie. And those magazines on my coffee table - Vogue, 1943, of course.
