Beyond the Call of Duty: Military Romantic Suspense (Wings of Gold Book 1)

When the extraction plan fails, Navy pilot Eric "LZ" O'Dwyer and DEA Special Agent Nicole Gamboa are stranded deep inside a voyeuristic drug lord's island fortress—with their covers as hired sex workers still very much intact.

Lieutenant O'Dwyer thrives on impossible odds. Estranged from his powerful family after choosing military life over the family empire, he channels his restless, combustible energy into high-risk flight ops with razor-thin margins. He's survived worse than a covert mission gone sideways. What he hasn't survived is a partner like Nicole—brilliant, sharp-tongued, and dangerously capable of making him forget every boundary he's ever set.

Special Agent Gamboa has zero patience for men who blur professional lines. She's been burned before by partners who couldn't separate the mission from the woman, and she has no intention of letting a cocky, dark-Irish Navy pilot with too much charm and not enough sense become her biggest liability. Except the distraction they planned to keep things professional never arrives, and suddenly every line between duty and desire is dissolving in real time.

Inside a fortress where danger wears many faces—some seductive, some nightmarish—Eric and Nicole must navigate genuine terror alongside a simmering attraction neither of them wants and both of them need. The mission demands they play their roles convincingly. Their hearts are demanding something far more permanent.

Sometimes the most dangerous mission isn't the one you were briefed on—it's the one that changes everything.
