In war, timing is everything. In love, it’s damn near impossible.
On the battlefield, Dr. Bowie “Bandaid” Myers is a legend—known for pulling off the impossible and saving soldiers no one else could. But one mission gone wrong in the sands of Iran left Bowie lost, numb, and running out of reasons to remain in the SEALs.
Until she walks in.
Major Charli “Atlas” Calderon doesn’t just fly—she dominates the sky, living for the cockpit, her crew, and the rush of flight. But on the ground, she’s trapped under the boot of a superior officer determined to clip her wings for good.
The two meet at a bar during a covert op—two strangers who’d rather be anywhere else. One night of raw, undeniable passion leads to a shocking revelation: they’re both working for Uncle Sam on the same high stakes classified mission.
Air Force and Navy… stationed half a country apart, buried in secrets, and at the mercy of missions that never go according to plan. Neither wanted to accept that a relationship was impossible, but the truth hurts.
The military was all business. Then war made it personal.
Fate throws them back together when Charli’s plane is shot down—and Bowie’s team is sent in for the rescue, unaware she’s the one they’re trying to save. The mission reignites everything they tried to forget, but recovery is brutal, and Charli finds herself under investigation for the crash.
Just as they start to fight for something real, one final mission pushes them to the edge—and a single act of heroism might cost Charli everything.
