Landing Love

A war widow with nothing left to lose. A reckless pilot who never planned to fall.

Ann Prince knows love and loss too intimately. Widowed by war and struggling to raise her infant alone, she refuses to let grief defeat her—but determination doesn’t fix a leaking roof or stretch an empty purse. When desperation drives her to seek help from the Pilots’ Benevolent Association, Ann never expects to meet the man who will challenge everything she believes about love.

Bill O’Donnell is all charm, swagger, and tall tales—at least on the surface. An airmail pilot who lives for speed and freedom, Bill hides a yearning for something lasting beneath his jokes and bravado. When he meets Ann, her quiet strength and fierce devotion awaken feelings he never intended to risk.

What begins with an offer to fix a roof becomes an unexpected courtship, built one shingle at a time. But when a devastating fire leaves Ann homeless, circumstance forces them into a marriage neither planned. As Bill’s past collides with Ann’s fragile healing—and a deadly flu threatens to steal everything—they must decide whether love is worth the risk. Because flying, like loving, means trusting the fall won’t destroy you.

Landing Love continues the Mile-High Madmen series with a tender, emotionally resonant historical romance set against the daring world of early aviation. Leslie Vollard weaves grief, resilience, and slow-building passion into a story where love is rebuilt from loss and courage is found not only in the sky, but in the heart.
