Wheels Up

He doesn't take passengers anymore. Two years after losing his wife in a Coast Guard crash, Cole "Crosswind" Hartley flies extraction missions for Aegis Aviation Services. Alone. No passengers, no attachments, no exceptions. Then Marcus sends him to Guatemala for a woman who won't stop filming and won't stop talking — a documentary filmmaker running for her life with footage that could topple a U.S. senator. Maya Chen has survived war zones, but nothing prepared her for the silent, scarred pilot who treats her like cargo. As they flee through jungle strips, safe houses, and a low-altitude border crossing with a cartel on their tail, she realizes the man behind the controls is fighting something far more dangerous than the people chasing them. Cole promised himself he'd never let anyone close enough to lose again. Maya promised herself she'd stop hiding behind the camera. Trapped in a cockpit fifty-four inches wide, promises don't stand a chance. Wheels Up is the first book in the Eagle Extraction series — a pulse-pounding romantic suspense saga featuring aviation heroes, global danger, and the kind of love that rewrites everything.
