(2017)(A book in the Star-Crossed Fairytales series)
A novel by J M Page
Stella’s fought her whole life for a shot at being a pilot.
Her father forbids it, and her stepmother stands in her way at every turn. Determined to follow in her legendary mom’s footsteps, she’s not afraid to break a few rules in pursuit of her dreams. Nothing will stop her from coming out on top.
As long as she doesn't get caught.
Dax has never met a challenge he couldn’t beat. As the son of a famous general and the reigning king of Starforge Academy, he’s no stranger to high expectations, and failure is never an option.
Neither is quitting, no matter how miserable he is.
When a late-night encounter leads to Dax discovering Stella’s secret training sessions, she presents him with a challenge he can’t resist—beat her, and she'll tell him her name. He accepts. He loses. Again and again.
Night after night they meet in the simulators, their rivalry morphing into something more. Flying together, they each find what they're missing. She helps him rediscover the joy he'd lost, and he encourages her to step out of the shadows and go after the gold. With the day of the big competition looming, can Stella find the courage to reveal herself to Dax, her father, and everyone else?
