The Pilot & The Athlete

A brave pilot with a painful secret. A world champion swimmer in protective custody. Can he resist her charm or will he have to face his past?

Retired Air Force Reconnaissance Lieutenant Pilot Paul Braven has dedicated his life to serving others. He sabotages every relationship, not wanting to share a painful secret from his past. When feisty and cute Shay Cannon is kidnapped by a nefarious crime lord, Paul is the only one who can save her. Shay is irresistible to Paul with her sense of humor and a draw he's never experienced. Paul keeps reminding himself that she's like a little sister to him, and not the grown-up, strong, attractive woman that he feels he could spend the rest of his life with. If he lets down his guard and gives his heart to her, it will only open up old wounds and that can never happen.

Shay Cannon, a world class swimmer, is stuck in protective custody because she witnessed a horrific crime. She misses her happy life of training for the Olympics and coaching the high school swim team. Things take a sudden turn for the worse when she finds herself in the hands of dangerous kidnappers. At the last moment, Paul Braven, her hero and longtime crush, comes to rescue her. They flee to Coleville Ranch to keep Shay safe from this new and deeper threat. Shay is ready to take their friendship to the next level, and the way Paul looks at her makes Shay think he is feeling the same connection, but for some reason, he keeps holding back.

Can Paul protect Shay without giving in to his feelings? Can Shay convince him to face the past and give their growing love a chance?
