He doesn't have much tolerance for BS, which is why he's mad as hell when a trusted colleague and mentor is brought up on charges that can't possibly be true.

- bioText:
USA Today bestselling author Jessica Scott is a career army officer; mother of two daughters, three cats and three dogs; wife to a career NCO and wrangler of all things stuffed and fluffy. She is a terrible cook and even worse housekeeper, but she's a pretty good shot with her assigned weapon and someone liked some of the stuff she wrote. Somehow, her children are pretty well-adjusted and her husband still loves her, despite burned water and a messy house.
She's written for the New York Times At War Blog, PBS Point of View: Regarding War Blog, and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. She deployed to Iraq in 2009 as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn and has served as a company commander at Fort Hood, Texas.
She's pursuing a PhD in Sociology in her spare time and most recently, she's been featured as one of Esquire Magazine's Americans of the Year for 2012. - name: Jessica Scott

March 9, 2015
Scott’s fifth Coming Home contemporary (after All for You), set at Ft. Hood, starts out rushed but gradually settles down. Cheeky Capt. Ben Teague never wanted command, but now he has it, including a responsibility to discipline those who were once his peers. When soldier Escoberra beats his daughter until she requires hospitalization, Ben is shocked; it seems totally out of character. Maj. Olivia Hale, the attractive lawyer assigned to advise Ben, insists that the law should be strictly enforced, but Ben can’t shake the feeling that this situation is more complicated than it looks. The sparks of attraction lead Ben and Olivia into distinctly unprofessional situations, while Olivia has to navigate the scars of her own past. What starts as a rough, clunky premise develops into a pleasant and gratifying read, with the characters breaking from their clichéd starting positions near the halfway mark. Disappointing compared to the prior entries in the series, this is nevertheless a quality romance with a satisfying payoff in the finale. Agent: Donna Bagdasarian, Publication Riot Group.

Starred review from August 1, 2016
As an active soldier herself, Scott is all too familiar with the strains that accompany serving while female. She also knows the difficulties families face when a partner or parent is in the field and then returns to a situation where the others have moved on and the challenges of reentry into civilian life. The eight-volume "Coming Home" series considers what happens when the warrior comes home, whether they face intensive rehab, PTSD, the demons of addiction, or the fear that their spouse may not want them back. While some of these couples meet and fall in love during the book, others have to find a way to continue to love each other through the stress of serving their country.
