About this Series
There are many great WWII romance books out there, but many of them have the guy stationed overseas, or he's a flier in England or somewhere, and the books contain many details of battles. While those are great, and I've enjoyed them myself, I decided to write a series that is more romance oriented. My series Soldiers of Swing features three US Army soldiers, one a staff sergeant, one a corporal, and one a 2nd lieutenant, who are all stationed state-side for the duration of the war.
Support people were just as important as those hallowed heroes who fought, and some of course died, "Over there". Some worked diligently to train others, some worked in defense plants, some guarded the homeland - but they were no less patriotic than their overseas counterparts.
This series is dedicated to them. The unsung heroes.

The series is more enjoyable if the books are read in order
He has his life all planned out – until one night at a dance at the USO in town, he meets her...
A secret blurted out in a moment of anger had turned Staff Sergeant Eugene Banks’ life upside down, but he moved on and made a good life for himself. At the moment, he’s concentrating on solving a mystery he had stumbled onto at his job over the motor pool at Fort Knox. Vivian Powell is contented with her life; she has family, friends, and a good job as a bank teller. Although she was nursing a broken heart, she has since moved forward and isn’t looking for love. At the urging of a friend, she decides to join the war effort by becoming a junior hostess at the local USO... These two people meet one fateful night at a dance, and their lives are everlastingly changed. What follows is a beautiful courtship, while dodging the fact that she signed an agreement to be available every Saturday night to dance with dozens of soldiers, and in spite of two confusing mysteries that refuse to be solved. Beautiful, that is, until Vivian catches Gene doing the very thing that he swore he would never do, and it nearly rips their romance in two! If you love stories about WWII and the “Greatest Generation” that read like you’re watching a classic movie, with handsome soldiers and beautiful girls-next-door, then Her Blue-Eyed Sergeant is for you! |

Corporal Steve Wheeler’s attitude had taken a turn for the better when he was reunited with the brothers he never knew – Gene Banks and Gary Tucker. He even met a girl that might turn out to be the one, that is—if could tame his penchant for teasing and tormenting... Mary June Harriman is Vivian Powell’s best friend, and as such, she is often thrown together with Viv’s fiancée’s wisecracking brother. But, just who is this man Steve Wheeler? Is he the hard-edged hooligan he pretends to be...or is he actually a romantic at heart, capable of sweeping her off her feet? These two spit and spar, dancing around one another, whether it’s at the USO in downtown Louisville or stuck on double dates with their best friend and sibling. Will the two of them continue to rub one another the wrong way? Or will they find that underneath it all, they are actually attracted to one another. And what if fate steps in and turns everything upside down with an incident at the powder plant? Mary June could lose her corporal before they even get together!

This is the second book in the Soldiers of Swing series. Get it now and follow the antics of Steve and Mary June! Book 3 will be Her Blue-Eyed Lieutenant. These are clean romances that contain no profanity or illicit sex. |
Until now, Gary Tucker’s life had been one of privilege and wealth. His long-lost brothers figured he’d had everything handed to him on a silver platter. But he’d had struggles of a different kind—like the struggle to break free of Gareth B. Tucker, Sr.’s iron-fisted control—to be his own man. No one really understood what it was like to be Gareth Tucker, Jr....no one that is, except Julie. Julie Banks was beautiful, wholesome, smart and funny—and his brother’s little sister. Gene thought of her as just a kid—but Gary saw her as the woman of his dreams. Therein lay the problem. Were they destined to remain best friends, never taking their relationship farther than that?
Overshadowing all of this, however, was the War. More than anything, Gary wanted to join the conflict and fly bombers over Germany and Japan. Would he get the opportunity? Could he find a way to become the man he knew he was called to be—and would the woman he loved be by his side when it was all said and done? If you love stories about WWII and the “Greatest Generation” that read like you’re watching a classic movie, with handsome soldiers and beautiful girls-next-door, then Her Blue-Eyed Lieutenant is for you! This is the third book in the Soldiers of Swing series, and like the others, it contains no profanity or illicit sex. |
