And after a series of accidents and near-misses, she admits she’s in over her head.

At first glance, it seems they cannot have everything. Sure, that bit on the back tells us a little about the main characters, the overall plot, and perhaps some about the decisions the main characters must make, because always-let me repeat this-always the choices they are faced with conflict with each other. And that sometimes, you just have to trust in God’s plan.The story behind the story is often told in the form of back cover copy on the book, but I think it goes way beyond that. Emme and Raven learn you can’t always choose where love finds you. 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. But when Emme joins his unit, all bets are off and the feelings he thought he left stateside begin to emerge. Raven keeps his emotions locked up tight, never allowing the men to see him sweat. Soon, Emme develops feelings that don’t belong in a combat zone, where each step could be your last.

With her humanity on the line, and her faith in question, she seeks comfort from Raven, her commanding officer. But, when the unit is hit by an IED, Emme realizes she can’t save everyone. 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. Can you choose between fighting for your life and fighting for your heart?
