Hell's Belles: Love and War Downrange
Jon LaForce
Sylvie Lyons, of Her Majesties' Royal Engineers, had joined the Army to follow in the footsteps of her granddad, despite everything the old man had warned her about. Now a Sergeant, she promised herself as she sat in her truck and sweated in the heat of an Afghanistan summer, she would pay more attention to his advice. Being in some politicians' bright idea of an experimental unit didn't mean a bloody thing when an IED went off or an RPG decided that it had your number.
Sergeant Hondo Cassidy, United States Marine Corps, loved his job as an artilleryman. Nothing in life is better than throwing hate at the Taliban, along with anybody else who wants to buy in for a whipping. He was, however, looking forward to heading out of the sandbox, as the Marines called anything in the Middle East, shortly. When the word came down that Cassidy's platoon was being kept in Afghanistan to provide security for Lyons' engineers, he was more than a bit ticked off, but orders were orders.
Of course, the Marine artillery platoon was all male. And the British Engineer unit was all female. Putting so many young men and women together in a dangerous situation has been a recipe for both love and disaster since the beginning of time. Throw in an aggressive enemy with a passionate hatred for the foreign infidels and the action becomes non-stop. Along the way Hondo and Sylvie learn the hard lessons of leadership, of death of brothers and sisters in combat, the sometimes futility of their mission, and maybe, just maybe, how to make something A life together.
If they can survive.
