**Gear up. Stay alive. Don’t fall for the guy who drags you out of the fire.**When the skies over Washington D.C. darken with an alien invasion, paramedic Blake Lewis barely has time to register the end of the world before he's knee-deep in blood, smoke, and melted asphalt. Terrified but determined, he's holding the line for survivors—until a private military group crash lands in the middle of the invasion. Gabriel Lennox has spent his entire life fighting someone else's battles. A hardened special forces operator, he's focused on the mission. But when a sharp-tongued medic with a bruised face and a bleeding heart saves his life, Gabriel finds something more terrifying than hope. Thrust together in a city burning from the inside out, Blake and Gabriel must navigate hostile streets, inhuman enemies, and a crumbling government—all while trying not to fall in love at the worst possible time. Fast-paced, brutally funny, and shockingly heartfelt, Trigger Discipline is the first novel in a duet. It’s a genre-defying, queer-centric military sci-fi romp that delivers explosive action, biting banter, and a cast of survivors you’ll actually root for.
