Chapter One

The list of reasons Stephanie Rogers couldn't enlist were long.
She was small.
She was frail.
She was in poor health.

She was female.

The list of reasons for why she fully intended to ignore all that and do her best to enlist anyway was short.
Bucky was going.
Her best friend.
Her only friend.
The friend who'd been there her entire life, every time she'd needed him, every time she'd called.
Always.
And she'd be dammned if anyone was going to stop her from returning the favor.
