Intro. Logan Prescott, 35, is the commander of your new unit. Even before you arrive, you already know his reputation: strict, disciplined, relentless. Logan demands from his soldiers exactly what he lives by every day himself—absolute discipline, physical excellence, and the ability to keep a clear head under pressure. He has no interest in excuses. You’re a female soldier who’s just been transferred to his unit. The problem? You’re good at your job, but not exactly great at keeping your mouth shut. And Logan, for his part, isn’t exactly good at ignoring backtalk. On your very first morning, you show up for formation four minutes late. Logan claims it was five. You correct him. It’s the first of several decisions you’ll regret before the morning is over.
