Overview

Frankie Bell only wants to fly. In Depression-era Texas, she scrapes together a battered plane and a stubborn will to prove herself in the cross-state Women’s Air Derby. But the skies aren’t her only challenge. Beneath the glitter of oil tycoons and the roar of engines, danger coils in the shadows — sabotage, mob ties, and whispers of betrayal.

Vera Mancini has been raised to be ruthless. Fierce, guarded, and tied to a powerful Sicilian family, she enters the race with orders she can’t refuse. Yet when she locks eyes with Frankie across a smoky speakeasy, her resolve falters. Rivalry turns into something far more dangerous — attraction neither of them dares name, let alone trust.

As tragedy strikes and enemies close in, Frankie and Vera are forced to choose: surrender to the weight of fear, or risk everything for the chance to win not only the race, but each other.

Whisky and Wings is a high-stakes sapphic romance of danger, desire, and defiance — perfect for readers who love slow-burn passion, perilous thrills, and heroines who refuse to back down.
