Synopses & Reviews
From the sundrenched beaches of Ocean City, Maryland to the snowcapped mountains of Afghanistan, this tale of espionage and intrigue takes readers on a spellbinding journey into the secret lives of our nation’s quiet heroes. Two young people thought it was just the beginning when they had a chance encounter on the beach, but 24 hours later, Lauren Cantrell and Michael “Rad” Radcliff said goodbye, not knowing if they would ever see each other again. Yet, fate had another unexpected meeting in store for them, exposing the covert lives neither had revealed. This book recounts the dedication of our military, the honor and sacrifice of our soldiers, and a relationship that is tested and sustained by the powerful forces of love, courage, and resolve.
