February 20, 2026Operation Wingman began with questions.
What happens when protection turns personal?
When the mission isn’t just strategic… but emotional?
When the one person you’re assigned to guard becomes the only one who can undo you?
This story was never meant to be just about danger. Yes, there are high stakes. Yes, there are secrets, pressure, and moments where everything could collapse in a single decision.
At its heart, Operation Wingman is about control.
Who has it? Who pretends to have it? And what happens when love, and possible sacrifice, quietly dismantles it?
I wanted to explore a hero who is competent, disciplined, trained to anticipate every threat … except the one that comes from within. A man who believes his job is to stand beside, shield, and strategize – not fall.
And a heroine who has spent her life navigating image, expectation, and perception. She’s no damsel. She doesn’t need saving … until she does. She does need someone who sees past the surface of her facade.
The chemistry between them was never soft. It’s sharp, tense and electric. Their connection builds under pressure. Through distrust, proximity, and moments where professionalism slips, something far more real takes its place.
What I love most about this story is that neither of them is totally reckless. They know the cost. They understand the consequences. They fall anyway.
That’s the real mission. Not the operation. Not the assignment. Not the threat.
The surrender.
And if you’ve read it already, you know…
This story might be finished, but their life together is only just beginning. Which is why I’m strongly considering something special. A five-chapter epilogue readers can download. If you didn’t see the link inside the book, email me at hello@opalnicks.com and I’ll send it to you personally.
Not just a glimpse or a time jump. But a true emotional continuation. Because some love stories deserve more than one final page.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for trusting me with your time. Welcome to Operation Wingman.
