Tied by Duty

A broody Captain. A reckless rookie. What the hell could go wrong?

Ethan Whitlock doesn't know anything about Marley Miller. Where she came from. If that's even her real name. She's a living mystery to him, one that he doesn't want to uncover.

The simple reason he doesn't care? He can't stand her. Ever since Commander Hansen assigned him to keep her out of trouble during missions, burdening him with the task of training her, even his short temper and grumpy disposition isn't enough to keep her in line.

Because nothing is enough to keep Marley Miller, the agencies firecracker, in line. She's an expert in scribbling over them. A loud, bubbly spirit who doesn't conform to Ethan's expectations.

But, through being bound by duty, light is shed on the emotions buried deep inside. The web of feelings starts to unravel. And no matter how hard either of them attempt to keep it hidden, the truth always comes out in the end.

Just after one too many near death experiences. One too many arguments. And one too many situations that drag out the emotions they've kept covert for so long.
