Saving the life of womaniser Nate links her to one of the most sought after pilots in her year, and she can't deny he's not only handsome but also quite irresistible.

Flight Captain - Fortune favors the bold

Adelie Klaiber is looking forward to the last week of a demanding semester crowned by an academy-wide exercise, when life has other plans. Instead of smooth sailing and helping her friend Ophelia with a project, she finds herself in a battle with her boyfriend for the prestigious rank of Flight Captain and tasked with the mission of retrieving the squadron flag from a visiting tank battalion. Not shying away from competition or doing her duty, Adelie is brought to the limits of her confidence.



Gratitude

The biggest Thank You goes to Tim, who suffered patiently through my earliest writing in English, and for being the best beta reader one could wish for. Thanks also to Jörg, Martina and Shukshata, your love for Beginnings encouraged me greatly to write Book #2. Jenny, Sabrina and Conny - my Hype Women, nothing would be possible without your steady support.
