The Night Is Mine

First in a military romantic suspense series by debut author M. L. Buchman based on the real-life Night Stalkers, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), an elite unit of helicopter pilots who transport Navy SEALS and Delta Force teams in and out of combat and covert missions. (They were the heroes of the film "Black Hawk Down.")To date, no woman has made the climb to Night Stalker-but what if one did? And what if more than one did? Buchman has created a unit of four women or "Whirly Girls" who take to the skies flying the most dangerous military ops, while finding the one man who can be a hero in their own life.Ace-pilot Captain Emily Beale is the first female Night Stalker. She normally flies Special Forces teams in farther and faster than they've ever flown before but she's reassigned-undercover as chef to the First Lady. Emily likes to cook and someone's trying to kill the First Lady. Beale soon discovers another problem-the boy next-door that she had an unrequited crush on is now the President. And her attraction is rekindled.To help investigate, Emily brings in her rugged commander, Major Mark Henderson, acting undercover as her boyfriend-and sparks fly. This is the last thing Emily needs-or wants, for that matter. Her life is complicated enough. And then she discovers all is not what it seems with the First Lady, and she can no longer be sure who she can trust. With one exception-she knows Mark will protect her-body, heart and soul...
