Temptation Bay (A Windfall Island Novel)
“It wasn’t just about ownership, it was about pride, the kind an architect felt in looking at a high-rise come to life from a humble drawing, or a baker felt in putting the finishing touches on a wedding cake that would not only taste like heaven, but be the crowning touch on some lucky bride’s perfect day.
The runways were just concrete, the buildings just aluminum, brick, wood and glass, and there were weeds to be trimmed; she’d need to get Mort on that, she told herself, and made a mental not...e. The place could use some paint to brighten it up—she added another mental note—to not only give her passengers great service but provide surroundings that were nice to look at. To keep the wolves from her door.
It wasn’t all about paying the bills, though there’d been plenty of months she’d wondered if she’d sail over that hurdle or catch a toe and fall into a hole she’d never be able to climb out of. But even those memories made something swell inside her chest. It was like flying, flying at the best of times, when the ground dropped away, when there was no safety net but her skill with the controls, her way with engines, the sheer willpower and refusal to fail that had burned in her gut since the day she’d realized her father saw her as a failure.MoreLess
