In the heart of World War II, amidst the chaos of battle and the sanctity of faith, an impossible love takes root.
Major John "Bucky" Egan, a decorated American pilot with a devil-may-care charm, thrives in the skies where danger and adrenaline keep him alive. But beneath the bravado lies a man haunted by loss and longing, desperate for something real in a world that's falling apart.
Margaret Eleanor Whitcomb, a devout nun raised in the quiet confines of a London convent, has dedicated her life to God and her duty as a nurse. Shy, compassionate, and bound by her vows, Margaret has never questioned her purpose-until war brings her to the frontlines, where she meets a man who makes her question everything she believes.
When their worlds collide at Thorpe Abbotts, a U.S. airbase on English soil, they find themselves drawn together in defiance of everything that should keep them apart. Their love is a sin, a betrayal of their oaths and their faith, but it is also undeniable. For Margaret, it is a test of her devotion to God and her own heart. For Bucky, it is the one thing that gives him hope in a world consumed by destruction.
As the war rages on, so does their forbidden love-a love that burns brighter than the bombs falling from the sky but threatens to destroy them both. Torn between duty and desire, faith and freedom, Margaret and Bucky must decide: Can love truly conquer all, or will the cost of their passion be too great to bear?
No God but You is a powerful tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to defy the boundaries set by faith, society, and war. Perfect for readers of historical romance and fans of forbidden love stories, this novel delves deep into the emotional turmoil of two souls finding salvation in each other during the darkest of times.

Squeak
She was the undesired outcast, who stood out, yet simultaneously blended effortlessly into the background. I could see the panic in her glassy brown eyes as she prayed her way through the crowded hallways. She'd tightly clutch that cross around her neck, full lips whispering, asking her God to spare her from their scornful glares, hateful comments, and the occasional rough-up. Silly girl. Did she not know that he was not listening and he would never save her? Like Jesus, she was the sacrificial lamb. The anxiety-riddled girl would burst through the doors of the school's library with her chest heaving, heart racing, and sweat dripping from her temples. I'd watch her from the shadows as she stored her items behind the check-out counter, preparing for her free period she spent assisting the school librarian. I clenched my teeth, watching her wheel a cart of books throughout the aisles as she cheerfully hummed her Sunday hymnals. She wore a green and blue pinafore dress that fell mid-calf on her shapely body. She attempted to hide that body from me with oversized clothes, but you could never outfox a fox. They spoke pure blasphemy when they labeled her undesirable because I desired Jezebel Holmes in the worst way. Those opaque white stockings our classmates teased her for wearing did nothing but spur countless hours of fantasies. I'd dream about ripping her tights apart, right at her center, revealing her virginal cotton white panties covering her untouched paradise. I'd yank them to the side and taste her fear in her cum. Her stockings would find themselves strangling her neck while I fucked a believer out of her. I would be the one she'd pray to absolve her of her sins. I would be the one she would seek protection from. I would be her guiding light. I would be her God. #1 in Dark Romance #1 in Tainted Love #1 in Preacher's Daughter 1st Place in General Category - Hearts AwardComplete![Strength and Sensuality [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/205277062-256-k462556.jpg)
Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it.

It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsComplete
