Morgan Trayhern is still on the run after being branded a traitor. His sister Alyssa has jumped through all the normal hoops a woman who wants to be a fighter pilot might encounter, as well as incurring all the hurtful remarks about her brother - and survived.

Unfortunately, their close working relationship has Clay seeing Alyssa in a different light. But can Alyssa's brick wall heart ever let a man in?
