RAF training was meant to be a matter of discipline, distance, and duty.
For newbie recruit William Jones, it's also about survival. In a world where loving the wrong person is a crime, he's learned to bury his emotions as carefully as classified information. Two weeks. That's all he has to endure before returning to the sky-and possibly to his death.
For Sergeant James Hallward, command comes easily. Control does not. Beneath the pressed uniform and steady voice lies a man who notices too much, feels too deeply, and knows exactly what the cost of a single mistake could be-for both of them.
As war tightens its grip and London burns under enemy fire, secrecy becomes impossible. When the call comes to defend the city from the air, James and William must face not only the enemy above the clouds-but the truth between them.
Because in the chaos of battle, some things can no longer be hidden.
And when London is on the line, love may be the most dangerous thing of all.
