stealth pursuit

When Air Force pilot Jennifer Thompson takes the F‑35 Lightning II on its first test flight with a classified navigation upgrade, a catastrophic pressure failure nearly kills her. The incident is dismissed as mechanical error but Jennifer knows better. Rumors of a Russian spy embedded at Luke Air Force Base have been circulating for weeks, and now the danger feels personal. 

Confined to the base hospital, Jennifer meets Alex, a charming EMT whose easy smile hides a past he rarely talks about. Their connection is instant, unexpected… and dangerously distracting. At the same time, Jennifer reaches out to Jeff Hadley, a CIA analyst — and the man she once spent a single night with — hoping he can confirm the whispers of a mole hunting for F‑35 secrets.
