Produktbeschreibung

Lose yourself in these charming tales of sisterhood and sweeping romance. Includes all three books in the heartwarming Ops Room Girls series; The Ops Room Girls, Christmas with the Ops Room Girls and Victory for the Ops Room Girls.

The Ops Room Girls: It is 1939 and working class Evie Bishop has received a scholarship to study mathematics at Oxford when war turns her life upside down. Evie must seek a new future for herself and joins the Women's Auxiliary Air Force as an Ops Room plotter. She soon befriends two other WAAFs, May and Jess. Together they overcome challenges, navigate new romances and keep their pilots safe in the skies. Yet the German bombers seem to know more than they should about the base's operations, and soon Evie, May and Jess are caught up in a world more dangerous than they ever imagined...

Christmas with the Ops Room Girls: When Jess suggests a pantomime to boost morale on the station, May is desperate to help, but is held back by her own insecurities. With her low self-esteem also affecting her relationship with Squadron Leader Peter Travis, May is fed up with being her own worst enemy and decides to take charge of her destiny. But the past she ran from comes back to haunt her, putting her newfound confidence to test. Can May, Jess and Evie work together once again to overcome the challenges of war - and of their own hearts?

Victory for the Ops Room Girls: With Jess newly promoted to Filterer Officer at RAF Fighter Command HQ, she is delighted to be reunited with Evie and May in London. However, now that they can enjoy socialising in the city, Jess fears her friends will discover the secret she keeps there. Matters are complicated when a film company arrives at Bentley Priory to make a morale-boosting movie about the RAF. The lead actor is none other than Leonard Steele, a man from Jess's past who could ruin everything she has worked so hard to build. As her past and present collide, will Jess find the strength to fight for her future?

This gripping and emotional wartime saga series is perfect for fans of Daisy Styles, Kate Thompson and Rosie Clarke.

Autorenporträt

Vicki Beeby writes historical fiction about the friendships and loves of service women brought together by the Second World War. Her first job was as a civil engineer on a sewage treatment project, so things could only improve from there. Since then, she has worked as a maths teacher and education consultant before turning freelance to give herself more time to write. In her free time, when she can drag herself away from reading, she enjoys walking and travelling to far-off places by train. She lives in Shropshire in a house that doesn't contain nearly enough bookshelves.
