A wounded pilot finds refuge in the arms of a brave officer in the New York Times-bestselling author’s "rip-roaring contemporary military romance" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).Temporarily assigned to the Shadow Squadron in a troubled region of Afghanistan, Chief Warrant Officer and pilot Leah Mackenzie is no stranger to combat-even if most of her physical and emotional scars are courtesy of her vicious ex. Still, she’s got a bad feeling about picking up a team of stranded SEALs. A feeling that’s all too justified once enemy fire hits their helicopter . . . SEAL Kell Ballard’s goal was to get the injured pilot out of harm’s way and find shelter deep in a labyrinth of caves. It’s a place of dark intimacy, where Leah finds unexpected safety in a man’s arms. Where prohibited attraction burns brightly. And where they’ll hide until the time comes to face the enemy outside . . . and the enemy within their ranks.
