Battle Buddy

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

About the story

They are ordered to trust each other with their lives. Not their hearts.

In Vietnam, the battle-buddy roster is more than an administrative detail. Eat together. Patrol together. Never go outside the wire alone. For Dean, the man assigned to stand beside him is another responsibility in a place where survival already requires every part of his attention.

Vance holds his gaze a moment longer than a stranger should. Dean recognizes the response in himself—and understands, after six years in the Army, what acknowledging it could cost. The person he must depend on every day is becoming the one person he cannot safely want.

An M/M military romance set against the danger and routines of the Vietnam War, where enforced closeness gives guarded feelings nowhere simple to go.

From the opening pages
