Fighter pilot Bennett "Roid-Rage" McKinney has had a crush on one of his squadron mates, Aaron "Tex" Austin, for ages. The snarly RIO is sexy, sarcastic, gay... everything Bennett wants in a man.

When Tex has a rare night off from the chronic pain caused by an ejection a few years ago, he reaches for the nearest warm body... which just so happens to be Bennett's.

After a hot night, though, Bennett wakes up alone. Tex starts sending him mixed messages—one minute he wants him, the next he's cold-shouldering him. Bennett isn't interested in playing games, not even with the man he's been lusting after. One night stands are fine, but he's not getting involved with someone who might disappear at the drop of a hat.

But as the men try to resist each other, he realizes he's not the only one who's afraid of getting involved with a flight risk...
