Star Rise
UP AND AWAY...
Lisa Heron longed to reach the stars, but her role in the space program seemed limited to the practice of psychiatry. Though she had been cleared for space flight, she had begun that her moment to taste the glory of the heavens would forever be denied.
Lt. Col. Mike Nesbitt could change all that. He needed her help to solve a problem with his men, and in return, he half promised to let her fly. Could he be trusted, though? She risked a broken heart that would leave her earthbound forever, but stood to gain a love that could outshine the brightest stars in all the universe.
