Emma Zackly, the youngest daughter of Darius Zackly the commander in Chief of all three military branches. Emma is 22 and still yet to be wedded not that her father is rushing her nor does she intend to throw away her life for some man. But when her father introduces her to Erwin Smith (Mr. Smith as she likes to call him ;)).....both unmarried adults for some reason fall for one another...very VERY slowly.
