UNDER HIS COMMAND

Dr. Aria Yasmine Montenegro is the hospital's golden surgeon and its heiress. At 27, she's gorgeous, brilliant, and adored by the public. But none of that matters to her older brother. To him, the hospital should belong to a Montenegro by blood and name, not to a sister he sees as a liability.

So he sends her on a medical mission he knows she'll never come back from.

The ambush goes wrong. Aria escapes with nothing but her scrubs and the will to survive. She runs until she crosses the border into a restricted military zone she wasn't supposed to see.

That's where she meets Captain Riven Hermosa.

He's the general's son. Disciplined, sharp, and loyal to a fault. His job is to secure the village and keep outsiders out. Her presence is a threat, a breach of protocol, and a political problem waiting to explode. If he reports her, her brother's plan succeeds. If he protects her, he betrays his father.

Two worlds collide in a village where trust gets people killed.

She knows how to save lives. He knows how to survive a war. Neither knows how to handle the pull between duty and the person in front of them.

As her brother closes in and the military tightens its grip, Aria and Elias have one choice: work together, or become casualties of the war they never started.
