Deforest James is the epitome of a good Navy Petty Officer. His subordinates respect him, and his crewmates love him. Orders to report to a new base, however, plunge him into a race against time, and he can’t keep a lid on his feelings for his best friend, Mitch Stuart, any longer.
Deforest has lusted after Mitch for a year, and one stolen kiss before his flight leaves changes everything. Half a world apart, they struggle to overcome what countless service members have struggled with before them: making a long-distance relationship work.
