Jane - Prologue

by Katie Whistler

Jane Billings is a woman that knows that all she wants it to be part of a proud tradition. She knows that it isn't easy to become one of the Special Forces, but she has hurtled that first obstacle. Her last name might have got her through the door, but now she was going to have to prove herself to be somebody that others can rely on to have their back. She soon meets a charismatic Air Force pilot named Mark Kilburn. They know that fraternization is frowned upon and do everything they can to hide what they feel for each other. They have teasing moments that soon turn to something more passionate than just a furtive glance. Their love story takes a dramatic turn when Mark is declared dead during a mission to Lybia. She soon finds herself courted by Colonel Briggs. He's an older man and she feels protected, but she doesn't know if she wants more than that. There's a terrible secret that has led her to this life and it's what's driving her to become part of the team. She has a long road, but she's strong and maybe a little bit stronger than she gave herself credit for.
