Mike is 18 when his mother asks him to spend the summer with Aunt Leia. She is not much older—beautiful, blonde, and alone while her husband works far away. At first, it seems like a normal holiday: a big house, a swimming pool, and simple garden work. But soon, small moments between them start to feel different. A smile, a touch, or the way her dress falls open makes Mike’s heart race. He knows it is wrong, but he cannot stop thinking about her....
Arizona, 1944. Elinor Powell, a Black Army nurse, is assigned to care for Nazi prisoners—a job deemed too good for her to do for white American soldiers.

Against military law, Jim Crow racism, and two nations at war, they fall in love. Their forbidden romance would cost them everything—and prove that love can survive even the cruelest divides.
