I was once the world's top pilot, but three days before my wedding, I lost my hearing on my final mission. For three silent years, my husband Rory's affection never seemed to fade. Each time he pressed me beneath him and kissed the ear that could no longer hear, I believed he truly loved me. He didn't know my hearing had begun to return. I was about to give him a surprise when a phone call shattered everything. The truth came out—Rory had hidden my medical records to make the world believe I was permanently deaf. He'd done it so Mona could replace me as the top pilot and marry the man she had always loved. To save Mona, he even planned to trick me onto the operating table and take one of my kidneys. In that moment, everything I'd lived for—my career, my love—turned to ashes. While Rory wasn't watching, I picked up my phone and sent a message: Three days later, I'd take the mission into the uninhabited zone.
