Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable autobiography of a pioneering female aviator who left a privileged life to serve in World War II. Her father was a millionaire race-car driver who became chairman of Bentley Motors, and her grandfather cofounded the De Beers mining company. But by the late 1930s, debutante Diana Barnato had enough of her affluent, chaperoned existence and sought excitement in flying—soloing at Brooklands after only six hours’ training. Joining the Air Transport Auxiliary in 1941 to help ferry aircraft to squadrons and bases throughout the country, she flew scores of different aircraft—fighters, bombers, and trainers—in all kinds of conditions, and without a radio. By 1945, Barnato had lost many friends, a fiancé, and a husband—but she continued to fly. In 1962 she was awarded the Jean Lennox Bird Trophy for notable achievement in aviation, but her greatest moment was yet to come, when in 1963 she flew a Lightning through the sound barrier, becoming “the fastest woman in the world.” Spreading My Wings is her remarkable memoir, brimming with history and adventure.

My feelings were raw, my thoughts were raw and hurtful like knife blades. . . . In the blue had been my place to hide, now In the raw there was nowhere to hide. Jenna Abbott separates her life into two categories: before the wreck and after the wreck. Before the wreck, she was leading a normal life with her mom in suburban New York. After the wreck, Jenna is alone, trying desperately to forget what happened that day on the bridge. She's determined not to let anyone get close to her -- she never wants to feel so broken and fragile again. Then Jenna meets Crow. He is a powerfully seductive enigma, and Jenna is instantly drawn to him. Crow is able to break down the wall that Jenna has built around her emotions, and she surprises herself by telling him things she hasn't told anyone else. Can Jenna bring herself to face the memories she's tried so hard to erase?

Book excerpt: When strange dreams of a beautiful woman disturbed his sleep night after night and severe pain caused Aaron Summer to be whisked off to hospital, the last thing he expected was the appearance of his dream beside his hospital bed. The touch of her hand caused a jolt of static to run the length of his arm before he snatched his hand away. You was all he could think to say. Her name was Aurora and she had the nerve to calmly inform him that the pain he was experiencing was quite natural and caused by his wings trying to break through and that he is, in fact, a Faerie. She had answered the call of his heart, his heritage. His heart song, so filled with longing that it transcended both time and space to bring her here, to find this lost soul, and assist with his Opening. I am your destiny, open or die. Sometimes you have a feeling. Sometimes you just know.
