Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy romantic tension tangled up with high-stakes mystery and military intrigue.
  • You appreciate protagonists with genuine emotional baggage that complicates their attraction, not just surface conflict.
  • You want a standalone that works within a series, with action that doesn't overshadow the relationship at its core.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need lengthy world-building or prefer your thrillers with minimal romance subplot.
  • You're looking for a grief-free romance; the guilt and loss here are central to both characters' arcs.
  • You prefer slow-burn relationships; this one reignites fast and stays intense throughout.

About this book

Archaeologist Henrietta "Harry" Markowitz and Air Force Sergeant Matt Stanning shared a one-night encounter at a wedding. When they're assigned to investigate a military plane crash in Iraq, they're reunited after three months apart. Harry is uncertain whether the pairing is fortunate or problematic. Matt has been recognized as a hero, but he struggles with that identity when he discovers that Harry is the widow of his fallen brother-in-arms. Their professional assignment becomes complicated when Harry uncovers evidence suggesting a military conspiracy connected to the crash. Pursuing the investigation further risks their safety, while abandoning it means never learning the truth about either the plane crash or their connection to each other.
