Can you choose between fighting for your life and fighting for your heart?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. But, when the unit is hit by an IED, Emme realizes she can''t save everyone. With her humanity on the line, and her faith in question, she seeks comfort from Raven, her commanding officer. Soon, Emme develops feelings that don''t belong in a combat zone, where each step could be your last. Raven keeps his emotions locked up tight, never allowing the men to see him sweat. But when Emme joins his unit, all bets are off; and the feelings he thought he left stateside begin to emerge. 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. Emme and Raven learn you can''t always choose where love finds you. And that sometimes, you just have to trust in God''s plan.
