Viking (The 142nd Phantom Lancers)

HE’S HER REFUGE. SHE’S HIS WAR.

Fifteen years ago, I entered the United States Air Force Academy and never looked back. Becoming a fighter pilot, protecting my country, pushing limits—this was the only future I saw for myself.

Until one mission changed everything. A split-second decision turned the sky from a place of freedom into a battlefield I can’t escape.

Lila was supposed to be a memory, but she never faded. And now she’s back—embedded in my squadron, my jet, and my head. Wanting her isn’t just reckless. It’s dangerous. But I’m not sure I have the strength to stay away.

I know what it means to lose someone to the call of duty.

The missing man flyover. The folded flag. The silence that follows. It broke me once—and I promised myself I’d never risk that kind of pain again.

I thought I’d made my peace with Vegas. With that night. With him. But Logan was never meant to be forgotten. Now, every look, every word, and every moment pulls me closer, even when I know better.

Because the truth is simple—

Loving him could destroy me.

But losing him again? That might ruin me completely.
