Coming from Christian publishing house Anaiah Press, the story promises a touching look at the lives of people dedicated to saving lives in the midst of battle. Here's the official blurb:
"Can you choose between fighting for
your life and fighting for your heart?
When twenty-two year old Emme Sawyer
joins a Marine unit heading into Helmand Providence, she focuses on what she
does best: keeping her men safe. But, when the unit is hit by an IED, Emme
realizes she can’t save everyone. With her humanity on the line, and her faith
in question, she seeks comfort from Raven, her commanding officer. Soon, Emme
develops feelings that don’t belong in a combat zone, where each step could be
your last.
Raven keeps his emotions locked up
tight, never allowing the men to see him sweat. But when Emme joins his unit,
all bets are off; and the feelings he thought he left stateside begin to
emerge. Knowing that the deserts of Afghanistan are the last place to start a
romance, and the United States military’s view on fraternizing; Raven tries to
deny his heart. Emme and Raven learn you can’t always choose where love finds
you. And that sometimes, you just have to trust in God’s plan."
