Borrowed Sky

He had one job left to do. Then he met her. Nathan Vance was never supposed to land in Shanghai. He has one last job to finish-one more score, and he's out for good. But first there is the contract he can't walk away from: three weeks at the Shanghai International Airshow, flying a borrowed MiG-17 over a city he has never seen. Then he meets the translator. Mia Ling has built a careful life in Shanghai. She grew up on the story of an aunt who was left behind by a foreign man, and she does not believe in falling for an American pilot. She has seen too many women in her family lose to the same kind. Nathan asks her to translate his demonstration. Then to fly with him at dawn. And later, on a rain-soaked corner in the French Concession, he asks her something she does not have a translation for. What follows is a love story shaped by what he can't tell her-and by what neither of them sees coming. They both understand what this is. >Borrowed Sky is a literary romance of love, deception, and emotional risk set against the shifting horizon of modern Shanghai.
