Not so long ago, young women fought and died for Britain
 
Twenty-year-old Diana Buckingham was bred to be the wife of an important man. Now the nation is at war and the enemy is preparing to invade. Diana must choose between her aristocratic life, and being who she really is – she can’t have both. She joins the hundreds of thousands of enlistees training to defend their country.
 
As the bombs begin to rain down and the death toll rises, Diana needs every ounce of savvy to keep herself, and her troops, alive. They must hold their nerve and keep the pilots in the air, or Britain will fall. They fight, live, and love as though there is no tomorrow, dismantling the chains of class, and creating a world where they are free to be, and do, anything. Diana must decide who she truly is, and where a romance with a totally unsuitable airman fits in.

Once the war is won, they are dismissed to homes and kitchens, where an insidious enemy is waiting for them. This time they are alone as they fight for their sanity, and to reclaim their place in a world determined to forget them. Diana will have to start making choices that weigh the society she pledged to protect, against everything that truly matters.
