EXCERPT:
“I’m telling you, Max,” Cass kicked at the punching bag, followed up with two quick jabs with her fists. “I just can’t believe the Captain sold me out like that.”
Her squadron mate, call sign Sleepy, placated her. “I don’t think he sold you out, Snow. I imagine headquarters thought it was a good idea.”
“It sucks. I gotta play tour guide to this idiot actor—America’s Hero.” She snorted. “He wouldn’t know which end of the bird to head off the boat with.”
“Snow.”
“I’m serious. America’s Hero, my ass. Just what I need, some homophobic closet queen actor hanging on my skirt.”
“Snow.”
“Who the hell does he think he is? And check this out.” She punched the bag again with three short jabs, not feeling the burn of the canvas against her fists, imagining it was her nemesis, Austin Quinn, on the receiving end. “He is planning on telling my story, my story in a movie with him as the pilot.”
“Snow.”
“What is he going to do?” She hit the bag with a solid round house kick, her leg connecting with what would be the shoulder area of an average man, sending a slight tremor down her leg with the potency of the impact. “Cross-dress the part? Don a wig and sashay his way around? And the female lead? What’s she going to do? Stand around and simper?”
“Snow.”
“Who said there was a female lead? Although the idea of wearing a dress to fly certainly has some merit.” A deep, clear, male voice that wasn’t Max’s, sounded in the room.
“Oh shit.”
