My name is Elena Hartman, I am six months pregnant, and right now, the cold marble floor of an upscale Lower Manhattan lounge is soaking through my threadbare apron.

“Get your hands off my rifle before I break them!” I screamed as my lead instructor slammed me into the freezing dirt, trying to stop my shot. He thought...
My name is Captain Samantha “Sam” Hayes. Nine years in the 75th Ranger Regiment taught me one absolute truth: gravity and wind don’t care about your gender, but the men in your unit certainly do. Right now, I was pinned against the muddy embankment of a shooting range in Fort Carson, Colorado, my chest burning from a hundred-pound rucksack.
"You're...

“They told me to let her die, but I locked eyes with the frozen whistleblower in red and made my choice. When our own commanders ordered the airstrike on...
My name is Master Sergeant Alex Vance, and three minutes ago, I was declared dead by the Joint Special Operations Command.
The wreckage of our Black Hawk was still spewing black smoke into the razor-sharp air of the Cascade Mountains. My squad was gone. The surface-to-air missile had ripped through our belly mid-insertion, scattering iron and flesh across a two-mile...

“She’s just a diversity hire, stay out of my way!” my squad leader snarled, shoving me against the lockers. Hours later, he was cowered in handcuffs on the burning...
I'm Captain Maya "Valkyrie" Vance, and I’m currently staring straight into the mouth of a dogfight I was never supposed to win. The men in my unit made sure I knew my place from day one.

“You’re lying, bitch! You have nothing without me!” Brandon roared, lunging across the desk while the officer pinned his arm back. Seeing my bruised face, my brother slammed the...

My name is Evelyn Hart, and twenty minutes ago, I genuinely believed my life was over inside Courtroom 302 of the New York County Supreme Court.

Part 1
My name is Nora Hayes, and right now, the presiding judge is raising her gavel to strip me of my dignity, my home, and every cent I have ever earned—while my husband, Bradley, smirks across the aisle like he just won a parlor game.
Fifty minutes ago, I was pulled out of a freezing county holding cell. My blouse...

I watched my elite SEAL team get pinned down in a freezing blizzard, completely out of ammo and hope. They said their final goodbyes, thinking I was completely lost...
PART 2
The Mk13 kicked violently against my shoulder, the thunderous roar of the .300 Winchester Magnum momentarily drowning out the howling Alaskan storm.
Down in the valley, the lead militiaman who was raising his weapon at Miller abruptly snapped backward as if hit by a freight train, his body tumbling lifelessly down the snowy embankment. Before the empty brass casing...
Part 2
I moved my crosshairs from the machine gunner to the man holding our radio.
If I fired at the PKM, the missile team could disappear before the helicopter arrived. If I targeted the missile first, the machine gun would keep Cole trapped until Javier ran out of time.
The man with the radio solved the problem for me. He stepped...

My unemployed cousin loved mocking my quiet nature at our family BBQ, calling me a useless secretary. He didn’t know I was a covert operations commander, or that my...
Part 2
Four men stepped out of the black Suburban. They weren’t wearing uniforms, but they didn’t need to.
