As boss of the Red Falcons, control isn’t just Quinn Gallagher’s job…it’s what keeps him whole. For years, he’s been a stoic leader, always keeping his teammates at arm’s length to protect them from the darkness he barely holds back. But when their mission shatters that illusion and cracks his carefully built walls, he’s reminded how he can’t let anyone in.
Patience Dunham always follows her heart. Just one semester away from becoming a doctor, she’s spent her life quietly supporting others and traveling the world with her parents as they devoted their lives to helping those in need. It kept her from getting close to anyone until she found a family in the crew at the Ready Room bar. But then she met Quinn…gritty, guarded, and hiding more pain than he’d admit, she feels a pull toward him, and something inside her shifts.
When a blizzard traps them together, their connection ignites. Fierce, tender, and impossible to ignore. For the first time in years, Quinn wonders if he could have something good. Someone special. But the clock is ticking, and Patience’s future is calling. With their goodbye looming, she’ll have to risk her heart, but he’ll have to face his past, if they have any hope of finding their forever.
