Short description

For Jacob and Daniel, two young gay men aboard a Navy ship in WWII, the risks were high. Not just the risk of death from Japanese planes and submarines, but the risk of discovery, of discharge, imprisonment or worse. Only a special kind of love was worth taking that chance. And if they survived the war, they would need even more luck to keep their love alive through all the years to come.

Extended description

For Jacob and Daniel, two young gay men aboard a Navy ship in WWII, the risks were high. Not just the risks of injury and death from Japanese planes and submarines, but the risk of discovery, of discharge, imprisonment or worse. Only a special kind of love was worth taking that chance. But from the moment Daniel met Jacob's eyes across a battle-scarred deck, he knew he had to try.

Being together required figuring out what it meant to be gay and in love with another man, in an era when they could be jailed or committed for admitting the desires of their hearts. On a ship at war, their relationship was measured in stolen moments and rare days of precious leave, with no guarantees there would be a tomorrow. And if they survived the war, they would need even more luck to keep their love alive through all the years to come.

Simply beautiful! I felt Jacob and Daniel's every emotion. The love they had for each other was amazing in it's strength and endurance.

Review by: Douglas Gellatly on Feb. 21, 2013 :
This is a fascinating story well written. It is hard to imagine the difficulties that two guys could have in the World War II era if they were gay, and Kaje Harper brings that out well. How they were able to maintain their relationship makes great reading. But wait for the final scene!

Another beautiful stpry from the talented Kaje Harper. This is a love story that started in World War II and still goes on. Jacob and Daniel are the perfect couple.

Kaje Harper writes a beautiful, flowing story with realistic characters. I have 5 of her novels and endorse all of them, including this one!
