Monty Hall of the U.S. Marines #2

When world-famous war correspondent Miranda Bailey lands in Korea to cover the amphibious invasion, she finds herself saddled with three reluctant Marine escorts determined to keep her safe—much to her frustration. Monty, Tex, and Canarsie quickly discover that protecting an independent photographer who refuses to stay out of danger is far harder than any combat mission, especially when enemy fire and her own determination to get the perfect shot put them all in the crosshairs. As the group pushes inland toward the city, tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and the line between duty and survival grows razor-thin.

Tex can't resist the challenge of breaking in a spirited captured Mongolian pony at the rest camp—with nothing but shoelaces and raw determination—and somehow manages to bond with the stubborn creature, much to Canarsie's disbelief. When the horse escapes into the nurses' quarters and gets mistaken for a troublemaker, Tex and his newfound pal find themselves caught between duty, chaos, and an unlikely friendship forming in the most unexpected ways.
