Hover

Hover

Now available in paperback

Helicopter pilot Sara Denning joins a US Navy battle group with little fanfare, and that's just the way she likes it. Her philosophy is simple—blend in, be competent, and above all, never do anything to stand out as a woman. But somewhere along the way, she lost herself—her feminine, easy-going soul now buried under so many defensive layers, she can't reach it anymore.

When she meets the strong, self-assured Lieutenant Eric Marxen, those defenses start to falter. He coordinates flight operations for SEAL Team One and they begin to request Sara exclusively as the pilot for their training exercises. The end mission is so secret, even she doesn't know the reason behind her mandated participation. For the thousandth time in her career, she wonders if she'll have what it takes to get the job done, but for the very first time, she questions if her heart will get in the way.

"Hover is not only a perfect summer read; it's an absolutely perfect anytime read."
   —Arcadia News

"A novel that transcends romance and military fiction, Hover is this year's celebration of self-empowerment."
   —Working Mother Magazine

"This incredible debut novel is a refreshing change with a blend of action and romance. The author brilliantly details a strong woman living in a man's world. The heroine is brilliant yet terrified and insecure. The military theme is not at all intimidating for non-military types. Highly recommend to readers who like suspense and a great love story. Don't be surprised if your boyfriend/husband starts reading it after you finish it."
   —Chicklit Club

"An engaging new voice, crackling with authenticity."
   —CJ Lyons, New York Times bestselling author of Farewell to Dreams

"Dancing backwards in high heels is nothing next to trying to make it as a female helicopter pilot in a very male world, especially when the stakes are life and death. Heart-pounding action and a heroine to root for, plus the one soldier who might be man enough to win her—you won't want to put this one down."
   —Sophie Littlefield, bestselling author of The Missing Place

"Written with grit, moxie, and heart, Hover dials up a memorable heroine thrown into a unique, exhilarating setting with an equally heart-pounding love interest. Lt. Sara Denning will charm and impress readers in a debut that is thrilling, romantic, and flat out cinematic."
   —Michelle Gable, New York Times bestselling author of A Paris Apartment
