Her goal? To be the Navy's Top Chef. Her challenge? To survive her goal. "This is the perfect Christmas book for (my military heritage)." Senior Chief Culinary Specialist Gail Miller joins a helicopter carrier ship with the goal of winning the prestigious Best Galley Afloat award. Sly Stowell's career has been on the helicopter carrier Peleliu, though now that it has been taken over by the Army's Night Stalkers his future is much less clear. And trusting a woman who thinks South Carolina barbeque is in any way proper will never happen. His specialty is flying low, as the master of the Navy's massive LCAC hovercraft. But when he and Gail fly to the rescue they risk far more than their differing barbeque recipes. They risk their hearts and their lives. "Another winner in the series. I can't wait for more!" [Can be read stand-alone or in series. A complete happy-ever-after with no cliffhangers. Originally published in "The Night Stalkers and the Navy" series in 2014. Re-edited 2022 but still the same great story.] Buy now and celebrate the Christmas holidays.
