In September of 1940, during the Blitz in London, Audrey Stocking is blending in with other civilians who are trying to survive the nightly bombings, but she has a secret. She's not British; she's German. Her fake passport and nearly perfect English allow her to blend in as she works hard to help evacuate British children into the countryside. Audrey longs to reunite with her family in Hamburg, but her double life, the bombings, and the watchful British Military Intelligence have forced her to stay put. And then there are the paralyzing nightmares . . . Lieutenant Wesley Bowers, an American soldier training with London's Bomb Disposal Company 5, meets Audrey when an air raid leaves an unexploded bomb on the floor of her flat. She is attractive, intelligent, and compassionate, and there's an immediate connection between them. As they get to know each other, Wesley realizes Audrey is the one bright spot amid the war's unending bleakness and constant threat of death. But will he still feel the same if he discovers the secrets she is hiding? Secrets even Audrey is unaware of?- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Historical fiction.; War fiction.; Novels.; Jewish teenagers; Ordnance disposal units; Secrecy; Americans; World War, 1939-1945; Nineteen forties; Secrecy.;

- The kaboom boys / by Peake, Elaine Hume,author.; Keith, Don,1947-author.(CARDINAL)391261;
"With the specter of the Great Depression behind him and the horrors of Nazi-occupied Europe ahead, Edward Hume leaves his Pennsylvania coal mining town to volunteer as one of the first US Army bomb demolition captains in the Second World War. Trained alongside the RAF in the English countryside, Hume takes command of an eclectic team of misfits, tasked with the perilous job of defuzing unexploded bombs in the heart of Europe's fiercest battlegrounds.Their chances of survival are slim--most soldiers with this assignment don't make it past ten weeks. The group's journey culminates at the ancient and mystical Mont Saint-Michel, left abandoned by the Nazis in the chaotic aftermath of D-Day. Hume and his squad face not only a deadly cache of jettisoned bombs but also treacherous tides, quicksand, and maritime mines. With each successful defuzing they save countless lives and inch closer to victory. But the cost of failure looms large, as they witness the devastating consequences of explosives left unattended. With the war intensifying, Edward and his men find themselves caught between their duty and their humanity, knowing that each mission could be their last." --- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Military fiction.; War fiction.; Ordnance disposal units; World War, 1939-1945; United States.
