Air Force Captain Liam "Dash" Christiansen has weathered eight years of marriage to Sunita through countless military separations. When Sunny takes a demanding position as a legal advisor, the distance between them grows beyond geography. She delivers devastating news: she wants a divorce and has feelings for someone else. Dash responds with raw intensity that surprises them both. Sunny finds herself drawn to this aggressive side of her husband she has never seen before. Their physical connection ignites into something primal and forbidden. For the first time, Sunny glimpses the honest emotions Dash has always hidden behind his carefree facade. But explosive sexual encounters cannot repair years of emotional disconnect. While their bodies finally communicate in a new language, deeper wounds remain unhealed. Both must confront what went wrong and discover whether authentic intimacy can emerge from the wreckage of their broken trust.
