Rory Belmont has always loved speed, trouble, and the sky—usually in that order. New York society calls her reckless. The newspapers call her scandalous. Her father calls her engaged—to a man she doesn’t want. But when Rory slips away from her engagement party to sit in the cockpit of a sleek biplane, she meets the one man who makes her heart race faster than flight itself…

Hank Hawley.
Army ace. Airmail daredevil.
And a Mile-High Madman with enough ghosts to ground an entire squadron.

Hank doesn’t need distractions—especially not a spoiled, sharp-tongued socialite with eyes full of fire and a hunger for the clouds. But Rory is nothing like he expected. She’s brave. Fierce. Lonely. And when she looks at him, he starts to believe there might be more to life than just staying alive.

Their connection is instant. Their chemistry is explosive. But when Rory’s father disowns her and danger shadows Hank’s every flight, loving him might cost Rory everything—her fortune, her freedom, even her life. And Hank knows too well that the sky doesn’t spare the things he cares about.

In a world built on risk, passion becomes the most dangerous dare of all… and the only one worth taking.

Welcome to Mile-High Madmen—where every pilot is a legend, every kiss is a free fall, and love always flies into the storm.

Leslie Vollard delivers a sweeping Jazz Age romance filled with danger, heart, and breathtaking passion. Perfect for fans of Beatriz Williams, Julie Klassen, and high-drama historical love stories, this tale of daring dreams and healing hearts proves that sometimes love soars where courage begins.
