In Pine Valley, Colorado, the mountains don’t whisper. Instead, they dare you closer. Ridgeway Air Force Base is Crewe Hawthorne’s night jumps, rescue birds, and the kind of danger that keeps his pulse even. Feelings? He locks those down tighter than a flight harness. Until Riley White crashes into his orbit. She’s the brilliant civilian engineer behind a next-gen drone project… and the woman he can’t stop watching. When sabotage turns Riley’s lifesaving tech into a weapon, Crewe is assigned to keep her close. Real close. Cabin close, bodyguard close, can-feel-his-breath-on-her-neck close. Snow traps them. Sparks trap them harder. Every brush of his hands promises more than safety, and every kiss tastes like a vow Crewe swore he’d never make. By day, they hunt a traitor threaded through Ridgeway’s operations. By night, the heat between them burns through secrets and second thoughts. She’s sunshine with steel in her spine. He’s a storm wrapped in a chiseled jaw. Together, they’re wildfire. But the enemy knows Riley’s work, and Crewe’s weaknesses. When a midnight op goes sideways and the town he swore to protect becomes a target, Crewe has one mission save the woman who’s become his whole damn world. High stakes. Hot nights. A love worth going to war for. *Welcome to Ridgeway Base, where duty meets desire in a heartbeat.
