Backdraft
He’s the pilot who never touches the ground; she’s the surgeon determined to clip his wings.
Jett "Rotor" Caldwell is the sky-cowboy of Squad 7, known for impossible maneuvers and a smile that hides a terrifying secret: his hands are shaking. Nerve damage from a past mission is getting worse, and if he’s grounded, he loses everything. When Dr. Ruby Chen—the squad’s rigid new trauma surgeon and the sister of the man Jett watched die—catches him trembling, he strikes a desperate deal: his construction skills for her silence.
Ruby arrived at the Silver Peak Outpost determined to bring order to the chaos and find the truth behind her brother’s death. She has no time for adrenaline junkies, especially the one she suspects of negligence. But as they work together to renovate a dilapidated medical bay, the forced proximity begins to break down her cold exterior, revealing a shared grief and a heat neither of them can escape.
As the serial arsonist known as 'The Spark' begins sabotaging the squad’s equipment, the stakes move from the clinic to the cockpit. When a massive storm and a man-made fire trap Ruby in a deadly flash flood, Jett must decide if he's willing to risk his life and his remaining secrets to save the woman who finally gave him a reason to land.
