A woman frozen in time awakens to her fate: deliver the weapon that will save humanity and cost her the ultimate sacrifice-her life.

When Caitlin Driskoll is awakened from a cryogenic stasis, she's got a lot of adjusting to do.  It's a new century and the planet is at war.  Once married to a Navy JAG, she now experiences life from the viewpoint of a Jarhead, and the view isn't pleasant.

Colonel Medoro Keegan lost the two most important things in his life during his Marine career: his wife to friendly fire, and his ability to fly combat missions.  Now, he's stuck aboard the Blanchard as the XO.  The Corps is the only family he has left and he's not about to lose the last thing he values.

Until he meets Caitlin, who isn't shy about telling Medoro what she thinks about his Marines.  How can such beauty wrapped in an icy body have so much fire?

It's the future, and a new kind of prejudice has replaced the racial prejudice Caitlin experienced in the last century.  After all, when you've been given a second chance at life, you are expendable.
