Belinda of the Red Cross

A nurse, an aviator, and a war that demands everything. Belinda Melnotte has dedicated her life to healing the wounded, but when Sandy Sanderson crashes into her hospital ward, his devil-may-care smile and mysterious past upend every conviction she holds. The Great War is escalating. The Red Cross is calling for volunteers. And Belinda must choose: follow the man she's falling for into danger, or stay true to the calling that's defined her. Hamilton captures a vanished world where women navigated love and duty under impossible pressure, where a single choice could reshape a life. The banter between Belinda and her fellow nurse Sue crackles with period wit, but beneath the romance lies something sharper: the terror of loving someone who flies into war, the ache of wanting both a career and a life. It's a story of what it cost to be a woman who wanted more than the world offered, set against the last days before everything changed.
