Excerpt
The church steeple loomed at them.
The bi-plane banked to the left, the boarding house
below them. As they flew over Main Street, the plane
rose to a higher altitude.
She peered from side to side observing the earth
from a perspective she’d never dreamed about. The
thick green forests would open to a lake or pasture then
another forest would come into view. The vibration of
the bi-plane swept through her body, dulling her senses.
She closed her eyes and relaxed against the seat. She
had no idea how long they’d been in the air.
The humming of the wires changed to a higher
pitch. The airplane picked up speed. She grabbed the
sides of the seat as fear clutched her heart. She closed
her eyes and prayed. The bi-plane hit the pasture with a
bounce before coming to a stop close to the shed.
Victor turned off the engine. He stepped out,
climbed on the plane beside the seat and reached for
Dottie’s hand to help her out.
He jumped off the wing, grabbed her around the
waist, and set her in front of him. Without saying a
word, he took her face in his hands. He bent to kiss her.
Her legs were weak from flying. She hadn’t gotten used
to being on land. When he kissed her, it was as if she
were in a whirlpool, the earth spinning around her.
She swayed, Victor steadied her. “Well, how do
you like it?”
She tightened her hold on his arm as the earth
turned beneath her. “What, the flying?”
He pulled the aviator cap off her head. “Yes, the
flying.”
“I was scared at first, but when we got in the air, I
relaxed and enjoyed the ride.”

Excerpt
Ruth Ann drifted to sleep and woke when Frankie
silenced the engine of the airplane. “We got here quick.
I’m glad I missed the landing. It scares me to land and
take-off.”
“I didn’t know. I thought you liked to fly.” He
unfastened his seat belt.
“I do, after we’re in the air and before we land.”
She waited for him to come around and help her out of
the plane.
His Ford coupe sat alone in the parking lot. He put
her suitcases in the car and headed into the hangar. “I
have a couple of things to do before I take you home, I
won’t be long.”
She followed him. She roamed the building to
make sure Al wasn’t hiding. “I’ll wait in here with
you.” Her heart raced with excitement while her
stomach quivered from nerves. She wanted to kiss him,
wanted him to kiss her.
Frankie stepped to his desk and studied a piece of
paper.
She followed him, took the paper out of his hand,
and placed it on the desk. She captured his hands and
placed them around her waist.
He stepped back. “What’re ya doin’?”
She tiptoed and put her hands behind his neck and
pulled his head toward her. She kissed him. The touch
of his lips sent a shock wave through her body. He took
control and devoured her mouth in a demanding kiss.
She reveled in his scent. He smelled like musk, spice,
motor oil, and the sky.

Excerpt
He stared at the lake he flew over each time he
landed at the airfield, stopped the car, and turned off the
ignition. “Your uncle’s lake?”
“Yes, there’s a bench where we can sit and talk.”
He opened her door and put his arm around her
waist drawing her close. Twilight gave enough light for
him to see the bench close to the water. He waited for
her to sit and then he sat, held her hand and placed a
kiss on her cheek. He stared at the sky as the stars came
out one by one. “This is a magical place.”
She placed her hand on the back of his neck and
pulled his face close.
He gazed into her eyes. The jolt of his gut reaction
unnerved him. She’d been sealed in his heart since the
day he met her and if he kissed her the way his lips
wanted there would be no going back. Her mouth
enticed him, soft and willing. Instead of kissing her lips,
he placed a chaste kiss on the top of her head. She put
her arms around his neck, her body melted into his.
Every woman before her, every disappointment, every
happiness sabotaged by her embrace. He brushed kisses
on the velvet skin of her neck and obeyed his heart. He
fell into her snare and captured her mouth, devouring
the sweetness of her lips, her response as eager as his.
