Sweet and swoony, Soaring Sweethearts is a golden-age-of-aviation historical romance of a brother’s best friend, a woman set on a safe and steady match, and the daredevil pilot who is the one man she swore she’d never let herself love.
She wanted safe and steady. He was neither—and everything.
Constance Pritchard knows one thing for certain: she will never fall for a pilot. Every day she frets over her brother Ernie and what would become of their family if his plane went down—and, as a secretary at the Postal Service’s airmail operation, she sees the dangers up close. When she marries, it will be to a stable, dependable man her family can lean on if the worst ever happens. She already has just the man in mind. And then her brother’s best friend and her own childhood crush, pilot Jack Thompson, upends every careful plan she’s made.
Jack has never thought anyone was good enough for Ernie’s kid sister—least of all a pilot like himself, though he thinks even less of the dull accountant she’s currently seeing. Nursing his own heartbreak after a broken engagement, he agrees to help Constance coax a proposal out of her beau, coaching her on how to capture a man’s heart. He realizes far too late that he’s lost his own. Ernie would never approve. But as Constance’s romance falters and the truth grows harder to hide, Jack must choose between the friend who has stood by him since boyhood and the woman who makes his battered heart whole—and Constance must decide whether the love she can’t resist is worth risking the safety she’s chased her whole life.
