After years of living in the shadow of loss and duty, Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw is finally learning how to navigate life on his own terms. A dedicated single father to his spirited daughter, Emma, Bradley has put his personal life on hold, focusing solely on her well-being. Dating feels like a distant dream-until Elise Mitchell walks into their lives.

Elise, a confident and ambitious 24-year-old college student, accepts a babysitting job that quickly becomes more than just a paycheck. Her warmth and charm draw Emma in immediately, and Bradley can't help but notice the spark she ignites between them. But as their connection deepens, Bradley is forced to face his fears: the pain of past heartbreak, the challenges of being a single parent, and the reality of an age gap that complicates their budding relationship.

For Elise, the job was supposed to be temporary-a way to earn extra money while building her future. She never expected to fall for her employer. Drawn to Bradley's quiet strength and devotion as a father, Elise must decide whether their attraction is worth risking everything she's working toward.

As their worlds collide, Bradley and Elise are faced with difficult choices. Can they navigate the complexities of love in an unconventional arrangement? Or will fear, doubt, and circumstance drive them apart before they truly have a chance?

In the high-octane world of Top Gun Maverick, River "Sunshine" Bradshaw has always carried the weight of family legacy. Her father, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, a beloved Top Gun legend, died before she was born, leaving her older brother, Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, with a lifetime of grief. Their mother's death when River was just 16 and Rooster 18 only deepened the divide between them, leaving River feeling like she never truly had a family. But after years of being apart, River returns to Top Gun as a promising pilot in her own right, ready to face the skies and prove herself. Reuniting with Rooster, however, isn't as simple as she hoped. Their once-close bond is strained by years of distance and unspoken pain over their parents' untimely deaths. While they try to navigate their fractured relationship, River also finds herself quietly entangled in a secret romance with Robert "Bob" Floyd, a fellow pilot whose quiet, steady presence offers River comfort and understanding. As River works to rebuild her connection with Rooster and find her place within the Top Gun program, she must also navigate the complexities of keeping her love for Bob a secret. Their bond grows stronger amid the chaos of training and combat, but the weight of their shared history-both personal and professional-puts their relationship to the test.
