Wes CallowayBattle Buddy
In Vietnam, two battle buddies risk more than their lives.

Two military rivals risk their careers for a secret relationship.
Military combat violence, period slurs, discriminatory military policy, and explicit sexual content.
Two services. One mission. No safe place for what follows.
Wade Kessler arrives at the briefing with a route plan he has checked twice. Remy Thibodeaux is the Navy SEAL who can find the flaw without breaking his easy smile. Forced to combine their recon elements, the Marine staff sergeant and the SEAL have thirty-six hours to agree on a plan—and considerably less patience for each other.
In Afghanistan in 2010, professional rivalry is only the first boundary between them. A secret relationship carries dangers beyond the battlefield while Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell remains in force. With repeal approaching and an inquiry threatening their future, trusting each other means more than getting a patrol home.
A rivals-to-lovers M/M military romance with combat, discriminatory policy, and a hard-won shared future. Consult the content notes above before choosing this reading mood.
From the opening pages
The tent smelled like wet canvas, diesel, and forty men who had run out of clean socks around the first of the month. I’d been in it for ninety seconds, and I’d already decided the briefing was going to go well.
