Cora knows just how to work social media and engage her fans, and as the world watches and interacts with them, their love grows. When Davis is selected for Team USA, the opposition starts. As a Korean American, he’s already facing odds Cora can never comprehend, but he takes his frustration at the racism to the ice and lets the puck take the beating.

LEOPOLD SCHäFER, the only child of Major Charlene Radden and former spy, Karl Schäfer has trained his enter life for this moment in time. An American spy undercover in a Nazi uniform operating under the codename VALOR, he receives a promotion to Oberleutnant and a new duty assignment in charge of the prisoners in Occupied France’s Valeurville prison. In the wake of Marie Perrin, codename Temperance’s arrest, Leo must handle the situation with the utmost caution. On one hand, every instinct in his heroic mind screams to protect the beautiful wireless operator from the hands of the Nazis. On the other, he cannot risk compromising his cover. It takes quick thinking and not a small amount of prayer to shield her from the harsh interrogation tactics of the Schutzstaffel trained interrogator. While he personally sees to her health and safety, he realizes that more than his cover is at risk as his feelings for the beautiful spy grow. As her situation grows more grave, he must focus on the bigger picture and the whole mission and make the hardest decision of his life. Can he protect her without blowing his own cover, or will he place his own life in danger to keep her safe? VALOR’S VIGIL is the exciting conclusion to the eight serialized novellas entitled the Virtues and Valor series. Seven valorous women — different nationalities, ethnicities, and social backgrounds — come together as a team called the Virtues. In 1941 Great Britain a special war department assembles an experimental and exclusively female cohort of combat operatives. Four willing spies, a wireless radio operator, an ingenious code breaker, and a fearless pilot are each hand-picked, recruited, and trained to initiate a daring mission in Occupied France. As plans are laid to engineer the largest prison break of Allied POWs in history, the Nazis capture the Virtues’ radio operator. It will take the cohesive teamwork of the rest of the women to save her life before Berlin breaks her and brings the force of the Third Reich to bear. Some find love, some find vengeance, and some discover the kind of strength that lives in the human heart when all they can do is rely on each other and their shared belief. Courage, faith, and valor intersect but, in the end, one pays the ultimate price. CONCLUDING the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Eight serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ultimate test of bravery. **************** the virtues in valor series, virtues in valor, world war ii, bridgeman, christian, christian fiction, christian romance, contemporary, contemporary christian fiction, contemporary christian romance, contemporary inspirational fiction, contemporary inspirational romance, edgy christian fiction, edgy christian romance, edgy inspirational fiction, edgy inspirational romance, fiction, hailey bridgeman, haley bridgeman, halle bridgeman, hallee bridgeman, inspirational, inspirational christian fiction, inspirational fiction, inspirational romance, olivia kimbrell press, Historical Fiction Time Periods, Military & War, Romance, Romantic Heroes, Romantic Themes, Inspirational, Military, Politicans, Spies, International, General, navy, army, soldier, politician, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Characters, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Moods, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Settings, Female Protagonists, Mystery, Small Towns, Suspense, Thrillers, Literary Fiction Themes, Women's Fiction Themes, 20th Century, Friendship, Love Stories, Religion, love, religious, spiritual, career, Religion & Spirituality, Christian Books & Bibles, Spirituality, Christian Fiction, Christian Living, Women, Music, woman, Family, Women's Inspirational, inspire, inspires, inspiration, christian, Hymns, christians, christianity, man, men, Romantic, Thriller, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, sprititual, invasion, traditional romance, europe, axis, allies, nazi, fascist, fascism, hitler, occupied france, france, germany, england, london, paris, berlin, agents, secret agents, valor, virtues, bravery, oss, wwii, world war ii, world war 2, heroines, courage, intelligence, spy, espionage, holocaust, war in europe, agent provocateur, temperance, hope, charity, prudence, grace, mercy, faith, lust, chastity, purity, gluttony, self-restraint, greed, giving, sloth, diligence, wrath, forgiveness, composure, envy, kindness, pride, humility, humbleness, war, warfare, secret war, blitzkrieg, combat, soldiers, prison, interrogation, torture, disguise, subterfuge, deception, Louis Zamperini, Corrie ten Boom, Anne Frank, Bodie Thoene, Brock Thoene, Tricia Goyer, Don Brown, Sarah Sundin, Stephen Ambrose, Unbroken, The Imitation Game, The Hiding Place, Diary of Anne Frank, Alan Turing,
