Summary
They all have their reasons for doing this.
For Joe, it’s the inherent drive to meet injustice head on—the same reason his heart called him to Jerusalem almost eight and a half centuries ago. Joe can’t run from a fight, not when innocent people are involved. For Nicky, it’s because he knows firsthand what men like this can do—the destruction they can cause when left unchecked as he once was. He’s not about to let fascism win, especially not here at home.
For Booker, it’s personal.
It’s his people being packed into the ghettos and crammed into train cars. It’s his people being sent to camps built specifically to eliminate them. It’s his people, his community, his faith, and Booker refuses to stand by for even a single second.
In the wake of Nazi Germany’s attempted extermination of the Jewish people, Booker takes matters into his own hands. But, after a high-stakes mission leads to unintended consequences, he’s left to pick up the pieces. Joe and Nicky are there every step of the way.

Summary
Andy’s smile curls a little at the corners, turning into a diminutive smirk. “Has it been that long, mon chére?” she purrs, her pitched-up tone thick with the Provençal accent that had lingered in his own voice when they had first met. The room spins around the central point of her face as she steps between Booker’s knees and reaches for his flushed face. He’s breathing so hard and fast that Booker is sure he’s going to faint and that precipice comes closer as Andy leans down and brushes her lips over his. “Has it been so long that you’ve forgotten your wife?”
Booker’s grip on his thighs tightens and he pulls back as far as she allows him, tears welling up in his eyes. “Andy, please,” he begs, shaking his head weakly. “I can’t—”
The act drops for a split second and those thousands of years flash through her eyes in an instant. “Yes you can, Booker,” she whispers, her normal voice returning for just a moment. “Let yourself have this.”
On the fiftieth anniversary of his wife’s death, Booker finds her returning to him once more.

Summary
They had said over by Christmas in the September of ’39.
She thinks about that sometimes and the laughter borders on hysteria. She remembers Michael’s face and his scepticism and the resignation that he had only ever shown to a handful of people, like he’d already known he would never come home again. A second generation lost on the battlefields of a world gone mad.
There’s a figure leaning against one of the wooden supports, red glow of a cigarette and the collar of his battered greatcoat turned up against the chill and Peggy hesitates for a moment. Without his distinctive blue jacket he could be just any other soldier in the camp.
Cigarette raised to his lips with an easy grace and even from the distance between them she can see the steely blue-grey of his eyes.
All right, maybe not just any other soldier.
Peggy walks towards him. ‘Sergeant Barnes.’

Summary
Rio volunteers as a firefighter. Agatha is used to her coming home late, bruised, exhausted—but always breathing. Then one day, she gets a call she was never supposed to get.
She shows up at the hospital soaked and furious, not listed as emergency contact, not technically anyone official. But she stays anyway. Because what they have may be quiet—unspoken, undefined—but it’s real.
And if Rio thinks she can die without telling her first, she’s wrong.
