<p>Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. In fact, she despises him.</p> <p>The feeling is completely mutual.</p> <p>Both experienced officers within secret special-op organisation 'Fleetwood', they've lived their careers in the spotlight of their groups.</p> <p>They're successful, skilled and admired for their abilities.</p> <p>The only ability they lack, however, is working together in harmony.</p> <p>After a combined operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again.</p> <p>That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova Shields.</p> <p>Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for.</p> <p>That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo.</p> <p>A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long.</p> <p>Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences.</p> <p>Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late.</p> <p>====</p> <p>"You're a real thorn in my side, you know that?" He shakes his dark head of floppy hair, hand still wrapped around my wrist.</p> <p>"Then why haven't you been able to stay away from me recently?" I raise my eyebrows, a small grin tugging on the corners of my lips.</p> <p>"Because no matter how much I absolutely can't stand you at times, I also can't stand the thought of not having you around."</p> <p>====</p>
