Jason Trayhern wore his father's glorious military legacy like a thorny crown. Though a skilled fighter pilot himself, Jason's rebel tactics didn't sit well with his commanding officers.

Because if she hoped to see a future with her would-be hero, they needed to survive their dangerous mission first!
