Major Weston Marian falls in love at first sight upon spying his new medic, Liam “Doc” Wilde. The best part of this was truly the most horrific historically: the Vietnam War. I ADORED this story about Doc and Major (aka Grandpa). The narration brought the love and feels to another level!! And suddenly I can’t imagine it any other way. I never imagined building a life with another man, but seeing Major in this new light is like a revelation. All this time he’s been standing in the sidelines, waiting patiently to hand over his heart into my safekeeping. I soon realize that at every step of my life, Major has been there, by my side, putting me first. Years later, when an unexpected illness turns my life upside down, Major is the first person I turn to for help, and he drops everything to rescue me as always. He’s the only reason I make it home to my wife and kids alive.įor some, a friendship like that might have ended once we left the jungle behind, but as time passes, our bond only continues to grow. He’s tough, brave, and quiet, and he vows to keep me safe. When I wind up on the front lines in Vietnam young and afraid, it’s Major Marian who comes to my rescue. He heads home to his perfect family while I continue to serve. When our tours end, we go our separate ways. He’s straight, with a wife and kids back in Texas, and there would be devastating consequences if anyone in the army discovered my secret.īut Doc was never a lifer like me. A night alone in the jungle after a helicopter crash forces us to rely on each other for survival, the secrets we share cementing a bond between us deeper than any other I’ve known.ĭoc begins to play a starring role in my late night fantasies even though I know he can never be anything more than a friend, a brother-in-arms.

It wasn’t long before my fellow soldiers became my new family, giving purpose to my time in Vietnam.īut everything changes when Doc Wilde joins my medevac crew. After running away at the age of 17, I found a new home in the army.
