Wanting to follow in her father’s footsteps, Gabriella Allen enlisted in the Coast Guard right after her high school graduation. Her ultimate goal was to become a member of the Coast Guard’s elite Maritime Security Response Team.

Eight years later, and after enduring a lot of hard work, sweat and even tears, Gabriella was not only a seasoned member of the MSRT, but she was also the team’s number one sniper. Trained in counter terrorism and high-risk law enforcement, Gabby was living the life she had always imagined—until tragedy struck during a joint operation.

Stuck in a rut, and feeling depressed, Gabby turns to the one person who could help her overcome her fears—her longtime crush, U.S. Navy SEAL Tanner “Playboy” Owens.
