She survived the worst mission of her life.
But recovery is only the beginning.
As Captain Lark Vega fights to rebuild her strength, unseen enemies close in — and not everyone wants her back on the battlefield. With her career on the line and her past refusing to stay buried, she has to navigate a system that’s suddenly turned against her.
But she’s not facing it alone.
Jack Collier has stood in the shadows for long enough. This time, he’s not just watching her six — he’s walking beside her, through every accusation, every reckoning, and every raw, unspoken truth.
When loyalty is questioned and trust becomes a weapon, they’ll need more than grit to survive.
They’ll need each other, and Lark must decide who she can rely on — and whether love can survive the fallout.
