Romance, Short Story R.L. Merrill 36 13th Nov, 2024
From the award-winning author of You Can Do Magic: Carnival of Mysteries and Connection: The Gifted Series comes a Sapphic romance featuring an Air Force pilot looking for a fresh start and the rescue dog—and the rescue dog's gorgeous wrangler—who cross her path at the right time.
Marianne Cross has lived a life of structure and purpose for the past twenty-four years. Now reluctantly retired from the Air Force, her life is missing those two things that have always defined her. As she struggles to decide where her future lies, she finds peace and solitude flying her vintage airplane. When an opportunity with the organization Pawsitive Flight comes along, allowing her to combine flying with a purpose, she’s interested in the possibilities—especially those concerning the owner of Goth Dog Rescue, Dinah Shaw. She’s tough, beautiful, and she makes Marianne want things she hasn’t allowed herself to want in a long time.
Dinah Shaw is happy with her life’s mission, connecting needy pups with families that will love them. It’s hard but fulfilling work that completely satisfies her—until she meets Marianne Cross. Part of Dinah is more than ready to hop in the jump seat and show the shy pilot a good time, but the other part isn’t interested in another woman who’s just passing through, looking for Ms. Right-For-Now. She’s been there and done that. Until she discovers what she wants to do with her life, Marianne is a possible flight risk Dinah can’t afford to trust.
Flying rescue dogs to their furever homes may give Marianne new purpose, and even a home of her own in the process…if Dinah can risk her heart on a little fly-by-night romance.
