Air Force Major Vanessa Blake had almost given up on getting her dream of joining a Special Forces unit and she jumps at the chance of joining a team. An all-femal Special Forces Team nicknamed the Medusas. Lieutenant Colonel Jake Scatalone is their trainer with a mission to prove that there is no place for women in Special Forces.

Along the way both sides learn a lot from each other including respect. When the training is over and they're informed that no matter how well they had performed there was no succeeding they jump at the chance of helping Scatalone when he disappears on a mission. Vanessa strikes a deal to prove the worth of her team.

Yes, there is romance as well, after all it is a Mills and Boon but it's not the main focus of the story, the main focus is on training up a team of gutsy women and having them proove themselves and not in a sexist or demeaning way, these women know their jobs and the author knows military. ( )
