This is a story about a man who gave everything and had everything taken from him. It's a bit darker than my usual stuff. I put it in the romance category because of the ending. Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens so much to our soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen when they're deployed. As I said in my blog post, this is partially based on reality.
Captain Jane Appet's only desire is to be a respected and feared instructor on the prestigious Orbital Academy. Unfortunately, she has a reputation for banging her rookie recruits...and a sex drive that makes that reputation hard to shake! When Captain Appet decides this is the incoming class to change her ways, she begins a year that neither she, nor her nine rookies, will ever forget.

Charlie was a special operator. Not the kind you hear about on TV, but one of the Air Force's offerings. Jacks of all trades, and Masters of each and every one of them, the members of the Para Rescue teams of the USAF are all that AND all the bags of chips. ** I left this story in one large piece, sorry, but I didn't see a need to break it into chapters since it seemed to defy the attempt. Please enjoy, and remember, fiction has no bounds. **
