One Lilac Christmas

December 1943

When Zachary Flynn suggested that he and Amity Belmont enlist together, he never dreamed the recruiters would reject him because of his flat feet. Now, Amity’s off fighting the war, and he could kick himself for letting his bruised ego get in the way of telling her his true feelings. If he had, maybe Lilac’s well-meaning matchmakers wouldn’t be trying to hustle him under the mistletoe with someone other than Amity.

Sergeant Amity Belmont never should have confided her fears to anyone in her Women’s Army Corps unit. When her commanding officer gets wind of Amity’s concerns, she recommends Amity set things right at home before taking on her new assignment. Of all the people she’s disappointed, Amity is worried most about Zach. She cannot ask him to forgive something she doesn’t regret.

Will her surprise visit to Lilac bring the Christmas miracle they both need?

His French War Bride
June 1944. Despite her determination to be in Paris to welcome her father home when he escapes from a prison camp, interpreter Christine Arnette must obey when the French Resistance sends her on a secret D-Day mission to Normandy. When her cover story falls apart, the Allies start asking questions.

Can she trust them with the truth?

When Lieutenant Harry Dean discovers their beautiful French interpreter lied about her reasons for coming to Carentan, it’s up to him to discover her identity. His gut tells him to trust her, but orders are orders. Is she really a spy? Will his heart allow him to stand by and watch if she’s arrested?

A Paris Christmas
After parting ways in Carentan, Army Civil Affairs officer Lieutenant Harry Dean wasn’t sure he’d ever see French Resistance spy Christine Jarreau again. Before he transfers to his next assignment at the front lines, he’s determined to use his Christmas three-day pass to find her and ask a simple question. Did she mean it when she said she’d marry him?

Four months have passed with no word from Harry. Christine now works as a translator for American war correspondents at the Hotel Scribe. While fear of the enemy’s return hangs over the city, Allied soldiers arrive daily to experience the first Christmas in liberated Paris. Will wartime threats prevent Harry and Christine from finding their way back into each other’s hearts?

His Scottish War Bride
As a motorcycle dispatch rider in London during World War II, Maggie Cameron faced her share of dangerous situations. Yet none filled her with as much dread as the thought of moving to America to join her G.I. husband, John MacPhee, after having been separated for six months.

Except for the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, everything in Lilac is different from her beloved Scotland. How long before John discovers his Scottish bride is completely unsuited for life as a banker’s wife? Life in the orderly MacPhee household has been completely upended since John’s return from the war. His father’s sudden injury puts John in charge at work and at home, leaving little time for battle scars to heal.

Will Maggie forgive him for dragging her away from the country she loves and into his chaotic life?
