The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin

In 1943, Private Clay Paxton trains hard with the US Army Rangers at Camp Forrest, Tennessee, determined to do his best in the upcoming Allied invasion of France. With his future stolen by his brothers' betrayal, Clay has only one thing to live for--fulfilling the recurring dream of his death.

Leah Jones works as a librarian at Camp Forrest, longing to rise above her orphanage upbringing and belong to the community, even as she uses her spare time to search for her real family--the baby sisters she was separated from so long ago.

After Clay saves Leah's life from a brutal attack, he saves her virtue with a marriage of convenience. When he ships out to train in England for D-day, their letters bind them together over the distance. But can a love strong enough to overcome death grow between them before Clay's recurring dream comes true?

This was a great ending to the Sunrise at Normandy series.  This is Clay's story.  He has a recurring dream where he sees himself dying during battle.  He meets Leah and saves her life during a vicious attack.  He marries her to give her respectable after the attack and so that she will have some income from his allotment.  This story also tells of the reunion of the three brothers who fought and haven't seen each other for three years.  If you haven't read the first two books in the series, it would be beneficial to do so.   Its not necessary, but it would give you a better understanding of Wyatt and Adler and why Clay has trouble forgiving his brothers.

I highly  recommend this book and the other two in the series.

I was given this book by Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
