Olya and Kolya: In the Shadow of the Enemy Lines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798280380349)

In the war-torn fields of Eastern Ukraine, where the soil has known more blood than rain, fate delivers an unlikely pair into each other's arms. Olya Moroz, a young Ukrainian field nurse hardened by loss and driven by duty, tends to the wounded in a makeshift hospital near the front lines. She never imagined that one of her patients would be Kolya Petrov, a Russian soldier found barely breathing in a cratered forest, abandoned by his unit and marked for death by his uniform alone.

Bound by compassion but torn by loyalty, Olya faces an impossible choice: let him die as the enemy, or save him as a man. Kolya, bruised in both body and spirit, awakens to a voice he doesn't understand-but a kindness he's never known. As days stretch into weeks, wounds begin to heal, and the two form a fragile, forbidden bond-nurtured in whispers and stolen glances beneath the hum of artillery and the ever-present shadow of betrayal.

But love is a dangerous thing in a land where borders are drawn in blood. In a conflict with no end in sight, their hearts must defy not just nations, but the fear that what they've found might not survive the war that rages beyond-and within-them.

Their names rhyme-Olya and Kolya. But nothing else in their world aligns.
