The interview of a lifetime.
When Aaron Strickland is assigned to write a feature article on Caleb Douglas, the first openly gay soldier to receive the Medal of Honor, he's over the moon. Meet a sexy, real-life hero? Yes, please. And in the weeks leading up to their interview, the former soldier becomes a recurring player in Aaron's fantasies.
A man Caleb can't forget.
Years earlier, lost in the throes of depression and PTSD after an ambush left his body and soul scarred, Caleb was on the brink of giving up when a magazine article changed his life forever--an article written by Aaron. Emerging from the depths of his pain, Operation Better Tomorrow--part homestead, part halfway house for those down on their luck--was born.
Tragedy lurking on the horizon.
As the days pass, Caleb and Aaron's tragic pasts bind them in ways they aren't prepared for, but it also leaves them vulnerable. Pushing forward means breaking down walls they've built to protect themselves, and just as they're poised on the precipice of happiness, darkness descends on the homestead--a hatred that will leave one man clinging to life and the other willing to risk everything to save him.
