Under Fire: A Novella

By Ophelia Lux

Captain Avery Sinclair is a by-the-book, no-nonsense officer in the elite military unit, tasked with the highest-risk operations. Focused solely on her mission and her soldiers' safety, she's kept her emotions buried beneath layers of discipline and duty. That is, until she's forced to work alongside the arrogant, unpredictable Lieutenant Callum Reed, a former special forces operative with a reputation for bending the rules and pushing the limits.

When their unit is sent on a dangerous covert mission deep in enemy territory, an unexpected explosion leaves them stranded together in the wilderness, with no way to contact their team or call for backup. With limited supplies and no choice but to rely on each other, the two must navigate not only the harsh elements but the simmering tension between them. What begins as mutual disdain soon transforms into an undeniable attraction as they are forced to confront their differences, their vulnerabilities, and the growing bond between them.

As danger closes in and their mission becomes more complicated, Avery and Callum must decide whether to trust each other or risk everything-both professionally and personally-by giving in to the heat that has built between them.

In the face of life-threatening situations, Avery and Callum learn that sometimes love and war aren't as different as they seem. But can their relationship survive when the mission is over, or will the walls they've built come crashing down, leaving them shattered?
