Chase has trained his whole life to be fearless-steady under pressure, calm in danger, ready for anything.
Anything except love.
For months, he's carried a secret heavier than any mission gear:
He's in love with Skye.
Not a small crush.
Not a passing feeling.
A deep, soul-anchoring love that hits him every time she laughs, flies, or says his name like she trusts him with the whole sky.
He almost told her once.
One breath away.
Then fear won.
But everything changes when a mysterious storm threatens Adventure Bay, forcing the pups into the most dangerous rescue they've ever faced. During the mission, Skye is sent into the heart of the storm-alone-and Chase's confidence shatters as he realizes how close he is to losing her without ever telling her the truth.
When the storm turns on them and Skye disappears from radar, Chase breaks every rule he's ever lived by-risking the mission, his safety, and his reputation-because the terror of losing her is greater than any fear of confessing.
He finds her, injured but alive, hidden beneath wreckage.
And in that fragile, breathless moment, Chase understands something brutal and beautiful:
Courage isn't about facing danger.
It's about facing your heart.
With sirens fading and the storm finally settling, Chase holds her close, realizing this is his last chance-
no more hesitating, no more almosts, no more fear.
Because some words can't be left unspoken.
Not when you were one disaster away from never saying them at all.
