Stacy Rand is a beautiful and brilliant young civil litigation attorney. Eleven months ago she said good-bye to her only brother, Sergeant First Class Othello Rand, as he boarded a commercial airliner headed for Kuwait and then to Iraq for several long, grueling months in a dangerous war zone. But neither Stacy nor Othello could have predicted the challenges of this separation in the months ahead. With the love and support of her beloved girlfriend, Sophia, Stacy finds the strength and courage to maintain her sanity, perseverance, and faith. Her secret love affair and a pending medical malpractice lawsuit will have to be enough to keep Stacy occupied until her brother returns from war. But little does she know that Othello had more in mind than patriotic duty when he enlisted in the Army. Stacy's littler brother has vengeance in his heart -- a vengeance so deadly, it will change the lives of Stacy and Othello forever.
