Allâs fair in love and war. Or so they say.
High school and college were a nightmare for Doris Strealer and being an adult isnât much better. Men wonât date a woman of her height, and they donât understand her desire to repair car engines rather than work as a nurse or a teacher. When her fatherâs garage closes, and no one will hire a female mechanic, she joins the Red Cross Motor Corps, finally feeling at home. Until she comes face to face with her past in the form of Ronald McCann, the most popular boy in school.
On the brink of a successful career as a surgeon, Ronâs plans crumble when heâs drafted and assigned to an evacuation hospital in England, the last place he expects to run into a former schoolmate. The gangly tomboy who was four years behind him in high school has transformed into a statuesque beauty, but a broken engagement in college leaves him with no desire to risk his heart ever again.
Will the hazards of war make or break a romance between this unlikely couple?
