Two worlds. Fifteen years of silence. One mission that changes everything.

Capt. Elias Thorne is a master of the sky. As an F-15 Strike Eagle pilot, his life is defined by high-G maneuvers, split-second decisions, and an ironclad sense of emotional restraint. But for fifteen years, his "home base" has been a voice on the other end of a phone-Maya Vance, the only woman who truly knows the man behind the flight suit.

Maya is the calm in the center of the storm. As an emergency dispatcher, she spends her days navigating other people's crises, all while keeping her own heart under lock and key. She's been Elias's best friend since childhood, his anchor through every deployment and every dangerous sortie. They've perfected the art of "just friends," building a wall of professionalism to protect the only stable thing in their lives.

When a temporary reassignment brings Elias to the high desert of Edwards Air Force Base, the distance that kept them safe disappears. Working together to bridge the gap between military and civilian emergency response, the static between them turns into a live wire.

As a devastating wildfire threatens their community, the lines between duty and desire blur. To save their valley, they must break every rule in the book. But to save their hearts, they have to face the most dangerous maneuver of all: risking a lifelong friendship for a shot at the truth.

Between Missions is a sweeping, emotional friends-to-lovers romance that proves sometimes the hardest mission isn't the one in the air-it's the one that finally brings you home.
