Only With You

by Dianne Venetta

Kelly Jones is an Apache combat pilot with no place to go except up. She lives to fly and flies to live. When she leaves the military, she discovers her new calling in the mountains of Colorado. The Silver Creek search and rescue team is looking for helicopter pilots and she feels certain she’s the woman for the job. Roan Phillips, head pilot for the area’s SAR team, is a stickler when it comes to performance and refuses to sign her off to fly with them. She’s too brash—too dangerous—to fly with the precision needed by an SAR pilot. But when an avalanche sweeps through a group of heli-skiers, stranding them in high country as a storm approaches, he’s faced with a difficult decision. These particular skiers are his personal friends and one of them is missing. Kelly insists she’s capable of flying rescue, and with time running out, Roan has no choice but to include her in the mission. It’s a choice he quickly second-guesses as the treachery of mountain flying becomes all too real and one emergency becomes two.

About the author

Dianne Venetta is the award-winning author of contemporary romance and cozy mystery novels, including Jennifer's Garden, winner of Best in Romance for 2012 Indie Discovery Awards. When not knee-deep in romance, she contributes gardening advice to various websites and publications and has been featured on GalTime, Huffington Post, Earth Eats (Indiana Public Radio) and Ideal Home Garden among others.

She lives in Central Florida with her husband and two children. When not whacking away at her keyboard you'll find her in their organic garden chasing grasshoppers and plucking hornworms all while drawing wild analogies between kids and plants and men. Definitely men. A girl's gotta have fun, right?

Dianne also enjoys volunteering in school gardens and has begun a children's series chronicling her adventures called Wild Tales & Garden Thrills. It's a crazy existence to be sure, but at the end of the day, if she can inspire someone to stop and smell the roses--or rosemary!--kiss their child and spouse good-night, be kind to a neighbor and Mother Earth, then she's done all right.
