Maybe Daniel would just take over and move past all his fears and hesitations and make him go where they both clearly wanted to.īut Daniel's arms dropped to his sides. And, somewhere along the way it becomes more. Sharing their thoughts and fears, their homesickness and their dreams. Jacob is just glad the Navy looked at his background when they made his assignment. Jacob is a brand-new recruit who enlisted two days after Pearl Harbor happened, and his twin brother was killed on the Oklahoma, and it's a good thing he's been assigned as the pharmacist's mate in sickbay, because all the noise, confusion, yelling, and weapons training of boot camp has shattered his quiet world. In fact, he was at Pearl Harbor and those memories will never go away. And I did.ĭaniel has been on the Navy ship since three weeks before Pearl Harbor and that's been enough time for him to become a veteran. The photo description and the letter to the author clinched my desire to read this story and I knew I was going to love it.
The fact that this book was a part of the Love is Always Write event for the Goodreads M/M Romance group attracted my interest even more. Kaje Harper is an author I always enjoy so when the opportunity to grab 'Into Deep Waters' occurred, I jumped at it. Author royalties will be donated to Lambda Legal, for their continued legal support of the rights of LGBT individuals. This story was written for a photo and story request letter as part of the Goodreads M/M Romance Love is Always Write event. And if they survived the war, they would need even more luck to keep their love alive through all the years to come.
On a ship at war, their relationship was measured in stolen moments and rare days of precious leave, with no guarantees there would be a tomorrow.
But from the moment Daniel met Jacob's eyes across a battle-scarred deck, he knew he had to try.īeing together required figuring out what it meant to be gay and in love with another man, in an era when they could be jailed or committed for admitting the desires of their hearts. Only a special kind of love was worth taking that chance. Not just the risks of injury and death from Japanese planes and submarines, but the risk of discovery, of discharge, imprisonment or worse. For Jacob and Daniel, two young gay men aboard a Navy ship in WWII, the risks were high.
