As the nation's youngest virologist and hematologist,
Captain Sophia Perry has always been one step ahead of her
peers. But there's one thing she can't beat—cancer. She
wants to make a difference in the time she has left, so when
she's sent to investigate a breakout at a Syrian refugee
camp, she goes, saying nothing of her diagnosis. But saving
the masses isn't easy when the man tasked to protect her is
so irresistible.
Communications Sergeant Connor Button is back on active duty
after a deadly explosion, but he doesn't feel whole again
until he meets Sophia. Assigned to keep her safe, he's
prepared to die for her, but for the first time in months he
truly wants to live—if only she wasn't so determined to put
them both in danger.
With a secret to keep and nothing to lose, Sophia is
determined to find the source of the breakout at any cost.
Violent attacks on the camp convince her that someone wants
her to pay dearly. But as Sophia's health deteriorates,
Connor must find a way to help her defeat her enemies before
her body defeats her.
