Winds of Change: Book1: In the Line of Fire

London, 1914. As the world erupts into war, two lives will be forever changed by courage, duty, and an impossible love.
Margaret Ashworth has fought every step of the way to become a doctor in a man’s world. When the Great War begins, she sees her chance to prove herself where it matters most—on the battlefields of France, saving lives others have written off as lost.
Tom Fitzgerald knows the narrow streets of London’s East End like the back of his calloused hands. A dockworker turned stretcher bearer, he carries the wounded from no-man’s-land with quiet determination, haunted by the friends he couldn’t save.
When their paths cross at a field hospital behind the Western Front, Margaret and Tom discover that the greatest battles aren’t always fought with bullets and shells. She’s everything he never dared dream of—brilliant, fearless, utterly out of his reach. He’s everything she never expected to want—steady, gentle, and completely wrong for a woman of her station.
As the war rages around them and the casualties mount, Margaret and Tom must navigate not only the horrors of the trenches but the rigid boundaries of a society that would never accept their love. In a world where tomorrow is never guaranteed, will they find the courage to fight for something more than just survival?
From the suffragette meetings of London to the mud-soaked hospitals of the Somme, Winds of Change: In the Line of Fire is a sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and the extraordinary ordinary people who changed the course of history.
