Jesse Warrick used to consider himself a kickass medic, but a teammate's brush with death has him questioning everything. Now he's been promoted to field commander of HORNET. How can he lead when he can't get his shit together? And how can he focus when the sexy new recruit makes him want to break the rules? Lanie Delcambre can't seem to find solid footing within the elite hostage rescue team. Worse, the man she's loved for most of her life is now her boss. She'd kill to act on the chemistry between her and Jesse, but she can't risk ruining her career. It was only supposed to be a training mission. No live ammo, no hostages, and no real bad guys - only someone didn't give the bad guys that memo. When their hotel is taken hostage with half of HORNET inside, Jesse and Lanie are the team's only hope of escaping alive... Contains mature themes.
