Cooper Fitch and Eli Jones have just completed their Navy SEAL training and will likely be separated into different platoons. Aside from Cooper wondering if he can lead without Eli by his side, neither wants to be separated.  Is their bond strong enough to hold up to a year or more apart? And will Cooper step up to the challenge of leading on his own?

The connection between Eli and Cooper that began in Maritime Men grows even stronger in Anchors Aweigh. They have to hide their relationship and suffer through an anguishing separation from each other in silence. It takes its toll on them emotionally, but nothing can diminish their love. Despite their romantic relationship being new, they have what it takes to go the distance. Eli and Cooper have the comfort and security of long time lovers and the passion of a one-night stand. Everyone who meets Eli is in awe of him. Cooper lives in his shadow, however, Cooper gains his own credibility, and the two become an incredible team personally and professionally. While Anchors Aweigh gives the affirmation I craved for Eli and Cooper, their new circumstances present the exciting possibility for more!
