==Summary==
Sergeant Jake Carter is a former Force Recon Marine from Bridgeton, Washington. After high school, Jake worked at the lumber mill until he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He did two tours in Afghanistan, earning two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for displaying unwavering courage in the face of the enemy. Ten years later, Jake returned home to visit his family, with whom he was at odds due to his overprotective nature. However, when his younger sister witnessed a murder and was taken hostage by a group of radicals, Jake set out to rescue her.
One year later, having left the military, Jake went into private security and was hired to protect Olivia Tanis, an IT engineer and whistle-blower for Genesis Defense Corporation, one of the largest defense contractors in the U.S.
Jake later became an EMT. He and his partner Zoe Williams responded to a gunshot victim who turned out to have killed the leader of the Lost Legion, a biker gang, and had to protect him from their retaliation.
Still working as an EMT, Jake reunited with his old commanding officer Luke Trapper on a mission to rescue a girl whose father was a juror on a trial for a criminal leader, with the girl's kidnappers being led by the daughter of the leader.
