Bishop

by Brilee Scott

HIS FREEDOM CAME AT A PRICE.
AND SHE KNOWS WHAT IT COST.

Everyone remembers the fighter pilot who was shot down over Iraq.
No one knows they’re looking at him.
I intend to keep it that way.
Until the one woman who knows pieces of my story walks back into my life. She remembers the man before the medals. Before the command. Before I learned how to hide what happened after they found me.
Some secrets are classified, and mine are killing me.

Five years ago, I helped nurse a wounded F-15 pilot back from the edge of death.
I saw what they did to him.
I witnessed his pain. His fear. His fight to put himself back together.
When his body healed, they sent him home and I never heard from him again. Until he walks into my clinic for a routine physical, and I find myself staring into a pair of very familiar dark blue eyes.
He’s stronger now. Guarded. Good at pretending.
But I know Nick. Not Bishop.
And I know the man standing in front of me is still haunted by a prison no one even knows he was in.

About the author

Brilee Scott is a Top 5 Amazon best-selling contemporary military romance author. Her books are filled with swoon-worthy romance, heart stopping action and suspense, and the promise of a hard-fought happily ever after.

Brilee is teacher-turned-author, wife to an aerospace engineer, and mama to the sweetest little boy (plus two very spoiled Australian Shepherds).

She studied education and fiction writing in college before spending several years teaching kindergarten and earning her master’s degree in literacy. Inspired by her husband’s career in military aviation, her deep-rooted patriotism, and her love of happily ever afters, Brilee found her way back to writing.

The idea for Viking, her debut novel, sparked during a family day at an airshow—proof that jet noise and love stories pair surprisingly well. She now writes heartfelt, high-stakes romance featuring elite fighter pilots, fierce heroines, and the kind of chemistry that lingers long after the last page.

Brilee and her family call Florida home, though they’re currently at Edwards AFB in California, where her husband is part of a next-generation fighter program. She’s hard at work on the rest of The Silent Pursuit series—and a few spin-offs about characters she just couldn’t let go of.
