Sophia’s Pilot

She’s afraid to fly. He’s an ace pilot. Can they make it off the ground?

Widow and single mother Sophia Nelson is about to be a young empty nester. She struggles with everything from starting her own business and training to run the Pumpkin Spice Marathon, to a busybody former Navy officer cousin who is overprotective and too involved in her life. When she has unwanted advances from a local high school coach, her cousin decides to appoint another former Navy man to train with her and protect her from the coach. Sophia needs another protector like she needs a hole in her head, but can it be all bad when Ben Garrison is not only good to look at, but a really decent man?

Ben Garrison just wants to start his helicopter courier service and fly, fly, fly. But an old Navy buddy needs a favor, and Ben wants to work at something until he can get his business off the ground. And what could be worse than running the track with a beautiful widow? Nothing, except that her over-protective teenage daughters think he’s a player, and he’s hard-pressed to get anything else off the ground with her, especially when her real problem is that she can’t tolerate the one thing he truly loves-flying.

Can Ben and Sophia find strength in their common faith bond and overcome past hurt to find happiness? Or are they permanently grounded in her fear and his nagging doubts?
