The Last Flight - Jen Talty

Trust the machine. Trust the mission. Never trust your heart-until the sky starts trying to kill you.

Ramey Sarich walked out of West Point with honors, discipline, and a heart he locked down tighter than any classified briefing. As one of the Army's top test pilots, he lives for the precision of flight-until a prototype aircraft goes down under his hands and the evidence screams sabotage. The Army can't give him answers. Won't give him answers. So he calls the only people he trusts: his brothers at The Aegis Network. What he isn't prepared for is the woman they send-or the fact that she's about to become the only person standing between him and a killer who wants him out of the sky permanently.

Tequila Ryder has spent the last few years grounded, trading combat zones for carpool lines while raising her half-sister's son. Now that he's off to college, she's ready to fly again-and her first assignment back drops her straight into the passenger seat of Ramey Sarich's helicopter. But when the aircraft is forced into an emergency landing on day one, the patterns she's seeing aren't mechanical failures. They're warnings. Someone sabotaged his earlier crash, and now they've come for him again-with her caught in the crossfire. Between buried conspiracies, classified tech, and a target on Ramey's back, Tequila knows one thing for certain: the only way they survive this is if they trust each other completely. And that might be the most dangerous mission either of them has ever flown.
