About this ebook

A grumpy sunshine novel

Fresh off a broken engagement, I discover I'm the descendent of the first licensed female pilot in California, my name sake, the first Emily Parker. Now there's only one thing to do, right? Take flying lessons, of course. It must be in my blood. Except the grumpy former Air Force pilot who's taken over his late father's flight school under duress doesn't seem thrilled to see me.

Maybe that's because I spilled hot coffee all over his crotch in one of my "I love Lucy" moments.

So far he claims I'm responsible for his aching jaw (bar fight, don't ask) and the spilled coffee. He's not sure he can trust me around heavy machinery. Probably not, but if Stone wants to rescue his late father's flight school he needs students.

What do I need?

To say goodbye to my good girl image. And secondly, it's time to break every one of my rules.

For fans of Lucy Score, Christina Lauren and Katherine Center.

(Fully revised and previously published by Harlequin in 2017)

Ratings and reviews

The unravelling of a doormat; wherein Emily Parker learns that while the past can influence the present and future, it doesn’t have to dictate it. I liked the Parker ladies, but they are A LOT. Particularly to have all their stories weaving in and out of each other like this. I loved seeing Emily learn to take risks and be more assertive with her own wants and needs. I adored watching Stone discover the what and why of things his father valued, most especially his family.
