Do and Die or Don't

Quin Foster has lived in the shadow of the military her entire life, haunted by the one truth she could never escape: soldiers don't always come home. When her worst fear comes true and her father, Colonel Michael Foster, is killed in action, Quin buries more than just a parent. She buries any desire to be connected to the army ever again.

But then another soldier crosses her path.

Private First Class Nicholas Hall is persistent, and unsettlingly familiar. There's something about him Quin can't shake, and it's clear he's not ready to walk away from her either. As their connection deepens, so does her dread. She's been down this road before, and it ends in a folded flag and an empty chair.

Nick sees her pain, her strength, and the walls she hides behind. And the more they fall for each other, the more Quin fears that loving him will cost her everything. Their journey becomes a military romance with grief and healing, where every moment feels fragile and every goodbye feels final.

The more she cares, the more she fears, because death doesn't discriminate and the army has already taken too much.
Now Quin must decide: risk her heart again, or protect it at all costs. But in a life where people vanish without warning, one question haunts her.

Will Nick be the one who stays, or the next to leave?
