The Falcon's Echo: A Clean Historical Novel Set at the United States Naval Academy in the Early 1900s with Forbidden Love and Workplace Romance (Call of the Sea)

Their greatest challenge was never the Naval Academy--it was each other. Lieutenant Cooper Wainright arrives in Annapolis carrying a secret that nearly ended his career. As the Naval Academy's new head football coach, he is determined to start fresh and build something lasting as he reaches for a winning season, a respectable future, and perhaps even a wife. Athena Pembroke, part of the Navy's most storied family, leveraged every connection to become the Academy's new archivist and must hold her own at the all-male institution. Armed with wit, a lethal golf swing, and a fierce desire to uphold her family name, she steps into her hard-fought position knowing the superintendent is hoping she will fail. When their paths cross, Cooper and Athena's attraction is immediate, inconvenient, and impossible to ignore. But as they draw closer, Cooper's buried truth becomes more dangerous. In a world ruled by honor and sacrifice, they must decide what integrity demands . . .
