F18

F18 Super Hornet fighter pilot Sophie Nichols likes a man who's off limits. Lt. Commander Gus Bernard happens to be her boss on the carrier. A routine flight over the Gulf of Oman goes sideways for the two pilots as an international crisis erupts in the Mideast. Their skills are stretched beyond the limit as their jets go to afterburner. When it's over, Sophie flies high on fame as her thoughts zero in on Gus. Navy routine grinds on as squadron members consider new orders when the carrier is relieved. Friends are scattering to new duty stations. Gus is heading to the Mediterranean for leave, and Sophie needs to decide if she should follow him . . . Gus noticed her during every briefing, but couldn't speak other than professionally. Then they'd faced hostiles together, bonded in that way, broke down that barrier. He recognized it in her eyes. But the Navy has its own plans and Gus resigns himself to moving on. Career decisions and past relationships threaten their connection. Can it survive the turbulence?
