    Summary

    First Lieutenant Ryland Grace never was the man of the situation. So, when he was handpicked by his commanding officer to lead a squad of soldiers and escort three important members of the Dutch Resistance through the enemy line, he would have never thought that, instead of the expected disaster, he would find love and comfort in the face of a stern spy who greatly outranked him.

    Summary

    "Hold on, what about Dr. Pepper?" Grace said, refusing to follow with his feet planted, one last excuse why he wouldn't join her to save the world.

    Eva paused. She considered. If that was the only stipulation, she could work with that. "I can get you whatever beverage you like, Dr. Grace."

    Grace grinned for a moment, like he was enjoying a personal joke, then said, "My dog. Dr. Pepper is my dog."

    Summary

    The first time Grace touches her, he doesn’t mean to. His hand brushes against hers in the table, lost in the sea on papers and screens. He apologizes immediately, of course, he is nothing but proper and cautious in his ways. She lets it slide, lost in the moment, paying no attention to it. Nothing is more important than the mission.

    Later at night, she cannot sleep.

    (His hand was warm. His hand was warm and hers was cold and maybe it is a metaphor of something bigger than both of them. Maybe it is a sign, an augury.

    She tries not to dwell too much in the impossibles, after all, she is a pragmatic person. But Ryland Grace makes her a careless woman, a hopeful woman. He makes her someone she is not, someone she must never be.

    And that is how a revelation is born, lost in the mundane.)
