Take Me Home

Olivia Marsten never imagined she'd be a war bride. But when her childhood best friend surprises her with a marriage proposal, she reluctantly accepts. She can't bear to send him off to serve in the Navy with a broken heart . . . even though her heart belongs to someone else.

Sparks fly the moment mysterious stranger Peter Becker lays eyes on Olivia. He never hesitated to pull her out of harm's way-risking his own life to save hers. Yet as kind as he is handsome, Peter harbors a dark secret. The son of an American soldier, he was forced to join the Reich's army to protect his German mother. Now an escaped POW, he's determined to spend every moment he can with beautiful Olivia before he must turn himself in.

But a dangerous enemy Peter knows all too well is on the loose, threatening the fragile future he and Olivia are building together. What happens when the truth of Peter's identity comes to light? And can their love withstand it?

Super sappy start. Love at first sight- Olivia is in a pickle. Her best friend from childhood has just proposed. Because he was about to enter WW11 she said yes even though she felt no romance for him because she feared he would be careless on the battlefield and die. Peter is a German prisoner of w......more

Before this novel, I had never heard of Dorothy Garlock. After this novel, I want to find any and every book she has ever written and BINGE. This story takes place in the 1940s, the time of WWII.
