After 12 months of struggle she finally determines that she needs a change. She decides to go to Georgia and move from an Army Reserves drill sergeant to an active duty one. She figures that a year away from her troubles will help her put them into perspective. She feels that the challenges of being a female drill sergeant in an all-male basic training company will help build up her confidence and zest for life.
Once at Fort Benning, Aimee is met with continuous obstacles. She has to prove herself as a female in a largely male field, and to make matters worse, she has fallen for Jacob Black, another drill sergeant, who is arrogant, prickly, and against females in general and her in particular.
But her strength of character shines through. Although Jacob has sworn off getting involved with women in the military, he can’t resist the temptation Aimee poses. Even if it means losing his career. Even if it means losing his heart.
