Window of Exposure by Roccie Hill is a fast-paced international thriller centered on Captain Kate Cardenas, a former F-16 fighter pilot who leaves the U.S. Air Force after enduring persistent sexism, only to enter an even more dangerous world as an operative for the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Stationed in the south of France, Kate is thrust into a high-stakes mission when Hank Cullen, a powerful American defense executive, is kidnapped by terrorists outside Paris. The operation quickly becomes personal: Hank is the half-brother of Major Ben Cullen, Kate’s former lover and fellow Air Force Academy graduate.
As Kate joins forces with French special operations and intelligence teams, the rescue effort escalates into a complex pursuit across Europe, exposing a network of violent extremists and political entanglements far more dangerous than anticipated. The mission tests Kate’s tactical skill, emotional resilience, and unresolved past with Ben, forcing her to confront both external threats and internal conflicts.
Blending military realism with emotional intensity, Hill crafts a gripping narrative that explores terrorism, loyalty, and the cost of service—anchored by a fiercely capable heroine navigating a world where survival demands both precision and courage.
“Her descriptives embrace the reader like a secret lover. Roccie has created an unusual place of intrigue. And in itself, seduces and beguiles.”
Kathleen Sullivan, Emmy award winning broadcaster and cable news pioneer

“If a Republican candidate for President were reviewing “Window of Exposure,” he’d pay Roccie Hill the ultimate compliment: she writes like a man…Roccie Hill, who lived and taught in France, has one child. She’s a pilot … in the Air Force. These two biographical facts explain a great deal about a novel that is a movie waiting to happen.”
