Lt. Jill Jacobson knew the Army of the 1990s had not warmed up to the idea of women in combat. Jack was going to be shocked when he found out that his new partner was a woman. She was ready for his mistrust. Four years at West Point proved she could hold her own against the Army’s brightest and toughest male officers. Jill had read Jack’s file, and it had said he was tough, so it might take a little while, but in the end she always got her way. She was confident that she could argue with and, if needed, intimidate any man in the Army. She told herself that Jack Savage was no exception. She was determined to win the cat and mouse game that was to ensue. She would start with a friendly approach and use her charm to befriend him. If that didn’t work, her determination combined with her fast thinking, and years of studying Army books, would quickly prove her superiority over Sergeant Savage. I don’t care if he doesn’t want to shake my hand. The only thing that matters is that he learns to obey my orders without hesitation. What could go wrong?
