On a Wing and a Prayer — Karen D. Badger

Airline pilot Cassidy Conway, haunted by memories of her lover's death, has closed her heart to love. Content with the occasional physical encounter, she's happy in her solitude. Roxanne Ward is an award-winning science fiction writer. Caught between her own needs and those of her family, she is unable to break free of an abusive relationship. When Cass sees Rox's portrait on a book cover and sends her an e-mail, the friendship that forms between the two women sets off a tumultuous chain of events, rife with danger and suspense.
