Cassidy Hart is alone.
Her Commander and the love of her life, Chris Young, has gone missing in action. A horrific battle with Omega has left too many good men and women dead, and Cassidy must bear the burden of leadership in the militia on her own.
But she’s not about to give up.

In
my heart, I know that if we fail, there won’t be another way. Omega will expect a second rescue attempt, and they
will be waiting for us to try something. Harry Lydell would kill Chris. It
would mean game over.
This
is something that everyone knows, but
nobody wants to say it.
There’s
no reason to.
“We’ll
wait until it gets dark,” I continue. “Remember, in and out. Make it quick.
Improvise, adapt and overcome. I don’t want any friendly casualties.
Understood?”
“Understood,”
Uriah echoes.
“Good.”
I
look around at the many faces watching me. All of them, good men and women –
even the ones I don’t necessarily get along with on a personal level. They’re
risking their lives for Chris – and for our cause.
“Vera,”
I say. “I want you with me.”
She
doesn’t reply. She simply nods, her expression a perfect poker face.
Life
is short. It’s even shorter when you’re a soldier. Do the right thing, because
tomorrow, you might not get the chance.

Summer Lane On Writing Romance
The romance between Cassidy Hart and Chris Young is one that
I have had in my head for a long time. I’m talking years. Chris Young was often present in novels that I wrote as a
teenager in high school. Yes, he had a different name then – and even different
hair – but the core of his character was intact. I have been able to bring him
to life in The Collapse Series, and that
has been one of the most exciting experiences of my writing career.
I am not primarily a romance writer. I have read a lot of romance and I love a good
romantic story, but I did not set off to write a story that purely centered on
the relationship between a man and a woman. State
of Emergency has a lot of romance in it, balanced with adventure and
survival. As the series progresses, the relationship between Chris and Cassie
is continually tested, and their love story within the hectic environment of the
battlefield has been something that has strengthened my skills as an author.
I think the key to writing a strong romance story is to give
the characters motivation – strong, strong motivation – outside of their
partner. For Cassidy, her motivation is finding her father and keeping the
people that she cares about safe. She will do anything to make sure that they
are kept alive, and that makes her love for Chris richer and more sincere. It’s
not just simple attraction – it’s love built on the platform of hardships and
heartbreak. It’s my favorite kind of love story.
