In 1929, twenty daredevil women take to the skies in the most dangerous race of their lives. Florence "Pancho" Barnes--heiress, rebel, and the most colorful pilot in America--can outfly, outswear, and outdrive any man. When Hollywood tries to turn the first-ever cross-country National Women's Air Derby into a publicity stunt with movie starlets and their male "mechanics" doing the real flying, Pancho rallies the greatest female aviators of the era to fight back. Alongside aviation legends Amelia Earhart, Louise Thaden, and Marvel Crosson, these fearless women demand the right to fly solo across 2,800 miles of treacherous terrain in primitive, fragile aircraft held together by glue and prayers. But as the race begins, sabotage strikes. Someone wants these women to fail--or worse. As increasingly serious incidents mount, the pilots realize they're not just racing for glory. They're fighting for their lives and the future of women in aviation. United in their determination to finish the derby, they refuse to back down, watching each other's backs as they barrel across the country in a white-knuckle race that will determine once and for all whether women belong in the skies. From high-speed car chases to emergency landings, speakeasy showdowns to courtroom battles, Where the Sky Begins is a thrilling ride through one of aviation's most dramatic chapters--a story of courage, sisterhood, and the unbreakable spirit of women who refused to be grounded.

At the moment, he’s investigating a rogue scientist with a penchant for nasty viruses…what could go wrong? They call her a maverick.

Fresh out of law school, Dani Wellford is determined to make her mark with her first solo case. Too bad her mysteriously uncooperative client seems determined to land behind bars. And too bad the smoking hot assistant DA prosecuting the case makes her pulse race every time they clash.

He can''t stop thinking about her, and she''s getting dangerously close to costing him the conviction that will make his whole career. Enemies in court, lovers after hours--they''re trapped in an impossible choice: honor their oaths as attorneys and lose the person who sets their souls on fire or follow their hearts and betray everything they''ve ever fought to become. Either way, when the verdict comes in, they''''ll both lose something they can''t bear to live without. Justice has never been so complicated—or so seductive.

A government assassin. A sociopathic killer. Both hunters—and both hunted—in the ultimate game of deception, double-cross, and death. Retired CIA agent Helen Warwick returns in this electrifying thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former spy Cindy Dees. As an elite assassin for the CIA, Helen Warwick was trained to keep a low profile, blend into the crowd, and eliminate her targets swiftly, silently, and efficiently. But now that she’s retired, Helen is forced to take on a very different, and very public, role—as the proud mother of a rising young politician. At a DC press conference for her son’s campaign, she sees the ominous green light of a gun laser fixed on her son’s head—and her CIA training kicks in. She jumps into action, pushes her son down, and saves him from a sniper’s bullet. In that moment, Helen realizes she will never escape the secrets of her past—or the deranged man she thought she killed . . . Code named Scorpius, he’s a Russian mole embedded in the CIA who recruits dangerous sociopaths and trains them to kill at command. None of his CIA colleagues know his true identity. But when members of his kill team begin to disappear, he realizes his entire operation may be at risk. His greatest threat, Helen Warwick, has agreed to rejoin the CIA to help expose Scorpius. She suspects that Scorpius may be one of her colleagues, part of a vast conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. And now that her family has been personally targeted, she’s willing to break every rule to stop Scorpius and his trained killers. Unless, of course, they kill her first . . .

But her plan to spend time reconnecting with her grown children has just been blown up—along with her son’s house—by hired killers. Why is she being targeted now—and by whom? Years of eliminating the nation’s enemies one sniper bullet at a time have earned Helen powerful adversaries.
