Sometimes the best laid plans are meant to be thrown way off course.

Hunter planned his life very well. He's got his position in the Air National Guard, the family he's always wanted and a life most people would love to have. Except he's not happy. His friends all know his truths, but them knowing about his sexuality and him admitting it are two different things. Thankfully Ryder—his best friend—has always got his back.

Ryder has loved Hunter since they were in school. He wants to have more than Hunter's back—he wants everything. Forcing his Guardsman to come out as a gay man wasn't on his agenda, but Ryder isn't above a bit of gentle nudging.

Will the things Hunter can't control be his undoing, or will he accept who he is as well as the love he's craved all of his life?
