In 1944 in the European Theater of
Operations, Army Air Force Lieutenant Kay Jobson has two reputations: that of
an outrageous tease and that of a diligent flight nurse. Kay knows many soldiers want her while all
she dreams of is becoming head nurse in order to avoid returning home to where
her father the preacher would use her beauty to exploit sinners and believers.
When C-47 pilot Lieutenant Roger Cooper meets Kay, he joins the
long list of admirers. However, Roger
reacts differently to Kay from all those wannabes when he refuses to act on his
desires. Still as they work together, he
gives her his greatest possession, his bible.
While each battles their unwanted growing attraction, Roger and Kay must
team up in a different survival scenario than their usual to help to the
wounded after being trapped behind Nazi lines.
The third Wings of the Nightingale WWII military romance (see On
Distant Shores and With
Every Letter) is an entertaining drama that focuses on
relationships forged while under traumatic stress providing frontline combat
medicine and trapped on the wrong side of the front. The gripping storyline balances the perilous
roles of flight nurse and pilot in war ravaged France and Italy with a fine
romantic subplot; summed up by the military chaplains: “there are no atheists
in foxholes” or behind enemy lines.
