Admitting it might cost him everything. When the past returns and forces them to confront what's always been there, the bond they've protected for years begins to shift. What follows it's explosive- it's inevitable. Because some love stories don't begin with sparks. They begin with partnership.

When former Marine Captain Emily Holmes joins NCIS, she expects a new beginning - not a return to the battlefield she thought she'd left behind. Brilliant, controlled and unnervingly perceptive, Emily sees patterns no one else does. Crime scenes unfold in her mind with surgical clarity. Motives snap into place. Lies unravel. And every time she's right - which is often - Leroy Jethro Gibbs hates it just a little bit more. He doesn't trust easily. He doesn't like surprises. And Emily Holmes is both. From case to case, Emily's instincts cut through chaos with frightening precision. Her military past gives her an edge the team can't ignore - and a darkness she refuses to explain. While Tony tries to decode her secrets, Kate begins to see the woman behind the discipline and McGee quietly admires the mind that never stops working. But Emily's greatest challenge are.n't the cases. It's the man leading the team. Gibbs sees too much. Emily hides too well. And the truth between them is a fuse waiting to be lit. In a world where every clue is a threat and every agent carries scars, Emily Holmes must learn that survival isn't the same as belonging - and that some battles follow you home.
