In a small town near a large military base, a young student arrives to complete her internship and conduct research in psychology. It seemed that six months would pass productively — within the walls of a real, closed-off military base with strict discipline. Nothing could cloud this experience... except for one man.

Devon Wong — a major of the old school, twenty years her senior, with a sharp gaze and a harsh temperament that every soldier has suffered from. Few dare to cross him. Any disobedience or violation of discipline results in punishment: physical exercises, push-ups under the scorching sun, or running laps around the base until the men collapse from exhaustion. He is convinced that this is how he forges true military spirit and finally turns them into real soldiers, not weaklings hiding under their mothers’ skirts.

And the last thing he wanted was the arrival of a student — a woman — on his base, where “female tears” have no place. She didn’t belong here. Yet under direct orders, Devon couldn’t simply send her away. Which meant he would have to make sure she left on her own — and stopped flashing her pretty face in front of his soldiers. Or in front of him.

However, no matter how hard he tried to stay indifferent, seeing her every day awakened something forbidden. The major found himself torn by an attraction he had no right to feel, struggling with the weight of their twenty-year age difference. But this feeling proved stronger than discipline... and stronger than him.
