Summary
Johnny had given up on his dream of going to art school early on — with his conservative parents and non-existent support system, he’d settled for doing whatever his family wanted him to.
His best friend, Simon, had other plans.
“You can come live with me.”
“Yeah, right, sneakin’ into yer military home is such a smart idea.”
Simon paused, having the sort of brilliant idea that would make Johnny scoff. Sure that they could pull it off.
“Marry me. The army gives free housing to serving soldiers and their families.”
Their fake marriage was a gateway for very real feelings to blossom, though, even through the difficulties that life put in their way.

Summary
Soap is a PhD student, doing his research in Antarctica on the behaviors and hunting habits of leopard seals. During his expedition, he becomes obsessed with a leucistic seal, who he's taken to calling Ghost.
His attempts at tagging Ghost for tracking purposes have all failed, leaving Soap frustrated, but determined to try again. He won't stop until he gets the data he needs for his dissertation.
At the same time, Soap is stuck in an escalating, heated flirting match with a hydroponics employee at another base. It's foolish to form romantic relationships with someone he knows will vanish from his life once their expeditions are over, but there's something fascinating about this man that he can't ignore.
