    About this ebook

    He’s an orphan,
    She’s a tomboy,
    They’re both soldiers . . .

    Lieutenant Jill Jacobson is determined to prove herself in a man’s world, the Army, but needs an experienced partner to do so. She handpicked Sergeant Jack Savage to be her sniping partner because he’s tough, and has a protective spirit—both of which will be needed on their first mission. She must convince him that she’s a worthy leader: fearless, trustworthy, and capable in combat so that he will obey her commands without doubt or hesitation.

    Jack aspires to lead a sniper team, and loathes taking orders from a woman. But, his tough demeanor is pricked by her courageous attitude and uncanny ability to get her job done under dangerous and demanding conditions.

    When Jack and Jill parachute into the deep dark jungle of South America, neither realize the peril, and romance, that will arise.

    Hi,I hope you are enjoying my story.Please let me know how you like (or dislike) it. My email address is: ansleygilmore@gmail.comThank you!I have always lived in my make-believe world. It was the best kept secret, until I started writing, and now everyone knows I'm schizo, ha. Well, hopefully, my imaginary friends will entertain you and bring you some diversion.In my "real" world I like riding motorcycles, snow skiing, snow boarding, sailing boats, flying airplanes and gliders, and most any activity that is outdoors. I wish I had the opportunity to climb Mount Everest, or search for Noah's Ark on Mount Arafat.As you can surmise, I like a good challenge, and writing is certainly that. In the end, my hope is that you enjoy venturing into my make-believe world as we go on adventures around the world, and maybe even into space (hint about one of my adventure books in the making).Finally, I must confess that the most challenging puzzle I found is the human heart. What makes us tick? Why do we do the things we do, sometimes with full conviction, sometimes with hesitation? What makes us happy and sad, sometimes both at the same time? These are questions that I like to broach in my writing. Relationships are complicated, but only because we are complicated. To understand a relationship we must understand the "other" person, and to that end we must understand ourselves first because with all of our differences, we also have much in common. Under standing ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses, is the first step to understanding others.Ansley

      A good hero plus a bad villain does not a fabulous story make. Spit-shined heroes, bad-to-the-bone villains and one-note mentor characters may serve a first draft, but not a compelling story and certainly not a powerful movie. Stories need a great ho
