Aviator by Nicole Blanchard

Former U.S. Marine Aviator who gave up his career to live in self-imposed exile in the mountains. He’s broody, ruggedly handsome, and pulls a gun on me the second I darken his doorstep. But I stand my ground. Because I need his help to find my sister—and I’m willing to do whatever it takes. When our engine fails and we’re stranded in the wilderness, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll make it out alive or if this man will be the death of me. I’m not her hero… …but Kenna Lynch looks at me like I could be. And—damn her—the longer we’re stuck together the more I want to be. As we uncover a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal, it doesn’t take long for me to realize the biggest danger we face isn’t the mountain or the elements, but someone who is willing to kill to keep their secrets. I’ll have to do whatever it takes to keep Kenna safe, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll be her hero after all. Aviator takes place in the First to Fight series, but may be read as a standalone.
