Kiera Morgan is a rising star in the military-intelligent, fierce, and determined to climb the ranks, no matter the cost. She's trained herself to be the perfect soldier, but there's one thing she can't seem to control: Jace Ramirez. Her rival, her equal, and the man who always seems to be one step ahead of her. They're tied for first, but their competition is more than just rank-it's personal.
When a high-stakes mission brings them together, the unresolved tension between them sparks into something dangerous. As they're forced to work side by side, Kiera's carefully constructed walls begin to crack, and Jace's persistence challenges everything she's tried to bury. But Kiera has a past-one full of scars and fears that she's not ready to face, especially not with someone like Jace.
As the line between enemies and something more begins to blur, Kiera must decide whether she's willing to risk everything for a love that might break her or push him away before it's too late.
