  Relentlessly emotional and gripping,
  Radiant Fire
   is told in the spirit of dashing adventure and the language of the current-day female warrior. The story contains strafing wit, a mindless helping of sexual indulgence, the airborne violence of war and the charged energy of two people being held apart by circumstances beyond their control. This tale propels the reader toward its ultimate conclusion with all the captivation and enchantment of a runaway train.
  When Shelley Baker's mother is killed by a drunken driver, the young woman dedicates herself to her father and to personal excellence. What follows is her graduation as the valedictorian of her high school class and an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy.
  The first year of Academy training finds her thoroughly infatuated with upper classman, Cadet Captain Randall Cummings. A complex blend of romantic illusion and sexual mischief tracks the mental and physical torment of young love. Unfortunately, Randall is a linguist with a photographic memory and mother tongue fluency in five languages, two of which are Middle Eastern dialects. While they are engaged in the revolving mating dance of desire, Randall proposes marriage and when Shelley accepts, he gives her an engagement ring containing a rare and marvelously huge blue diamond.
  After his graduation, and six months before their wedding date, Lieutenant Cummings vanishes without a trace or the advanced knowledge of his intended bride. The Air Force denies any knowledge of his whereabouts, but Shelley determines through a former classmate that his personnel file has been transferred to a Black-Operations-Agency, instead of being terminated.
  While awaiting her beloved's return, Shelley graduates from the Academy and pilot training; becomes a combat ready F-16 Fighter Pilot and participates in the air war of Operation Desert Storm. Nearly two years after their original wedding date, she discovers what happened to her beloved in an emotionally charged dramatic conclusion.
