Sending Out Flares (Johnny Soap MacTavish/ F! OC)(Coming Soon)

•Book 2 of the Chords of Courage Series•
"But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you, did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
You are not alone
'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares."

Cameron "Sundance" Price was left bruised and grounded-body aching, spirit shattered. Once a fearless pilot with the sky at her fingertips, she now walks a world scarred by war and memory. Desperate to feel whole again, Cam returns to England, stepping into a new battlefield: one without wings, but with purpose. She's placed with the 141-boots on the ground, her father as her captain, and a second chance to fight.

Then comes Johnny "Soap" MacTavish.

Cam didn't expect him-loud, loyal, infuriating. But beneath the chaos, Johnny becomes her flare in the darkest night. Steady. Bright. Relentlessly burning when she forgets how to.

To Johnny, Cam isn't just another soldier. She's his holy smoke-the fire in his lungs, the calm in the storm, the light that cuts through the wreckage of war and reminds him what's worth fighting for.

When a mission goes sideways and the team's survival depends on her, Cam is forced to confront the fear she's carried for far too long. But this time, she won't face it alone. With Johnny by her side-her flare in the smoke-filled sky-Cam will learn to trust herself again, reclaim the fire that once fueled her, and rise into the sky once more.
