PROLOGUE
Northern, Italy 1918
He
He hadn’t washed in weeks. The country side was crawling with “Kraut” and all he could think about was the full lips that said his name with uninhibited desire. She made him feel invincible and he needed to believe he was. He would have done anything to have and keep her .
Those eyes …
She moved over him like a cunning feline. Under her spell he promised he would keep her brother Tanner quiet about everything. He had no idea how he was going to silence the man who had become his friend , but he wasn’t going to let anyone ruin their plans. As he walked back their campfire after visiting a makeshift Latrine , his thoughts took him back to their night together. Intoxicated by the cheap wine he agreed to the pact . She was beautiful , strong and most of all determined. He wanted to believe that they would have a good life once this useless war was over. After settling in the muddy trench , he saw something imperceptibly move. Italy could have been a beautiful place if it hadn’t been for this God forsaken war, he thought rubbing his eyes. He was unbelievably fatigued , so much that the foliage seemed to be moving by itself. He closed his eyes and opened them again to focus. Was there someone or something out there? He couldn’t wait until he was back in the U.S of A. More importantly he couldn’t wait to be with her. He could still smell her. She was a vision a sweet .. temptress.
