"Integrity first, Service before self, Excellence in all we do." For more than twenty years, I lived by my Air Force code. Until I made a choice. Put my family first. Something a soldier is never allowed to do. Now I don't know who I am. Or where I belong. Getting lost in Mexico sounds like a good idea, but with only guilt and regret as my constant companions, I'll never figure it all out. Until a chance meeting in a hotel bar changes my course. Dr. Mikayla Salim is everything I'm not. Full of life and on a mission of her own. To change the world through her research. In a few short days, she's done the impossible. Given me hope. But now she's in danger. And I'm the only man with the skills to save her. To protect her. And I will.
