âHave you had many men in your life?â
Marley snorted with laughter.
He pushed up on one elbow to stare down at her. âYouâre an attractive woman. Has something bad happened to put you off men?â
âNo, Iâve just always been that girl next door who fades into the woodwork.â
He laid a hand on her cheek, preventing her from looking away. âStop putting yourself down.â
âButââ
His mouth closed over hers and she gasped, surprised. He took advantage of it to taste her more deeply, and a strange sound she identified as a moan escaped her throat.
âRelax, Marley,â he murmured. His hand roamed from the back of her knee up her thigh, and darned if her legs didnât obey him and fall apart. His hand slid up by inches â¦
âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm establishing that all the guys who failed to ask you out in the past are complete idiots. Are you okay with that?â

Dear Reader,
Iâm asked often why I donât write more books about pilots, given that I was a military pilot for years. The truth is, I didnât perceive it as a glamorous or particularly interesting job to non-pilots. But thanks to many of you wonderful readers pestering me endlessly, I finally realized that maybe other people might enjoy glimpsing the world of a pilot from an insiderâs point of view.
And then, when a sexy helicopter pilot like Archer exploded into my imagination, I was finally convinced to take a stab at writing another book about a hot stick jockey. I suspect my heroine, Marley Stringer, is thrilled that I decided to bring both her and Archer to life.
And where better to tell their story than on the exciting and tension-filled set of an action movie in production? Take it from a lifelong aviator: stunt pilots are among the most skilled and craziest risk-takers in the entire aviation industry.
So pop yourself a bucket of popcorn, pour yourself your favorite cold beverage, open one of those movie-sized boxes of yummy candy, and prepare to take a wild ride with a high-stakes playboy and the spunky woman who can tame him at lastâ¦
Happy reading!

Chapter 1
Marley Stringer crouched in front of the movie camera, checking it one last time, even though sheâd already checked it twice. Everything was ready to go. But that didnât keep her stomach from doing nervous flip-flops. This was her first big break in movie cinematography and nothing could go wrong.
Not to mention she didnât like flying. Sheâd arrived at the airport this morning to find that her camera had been taken off the usual helicopter she flew in and mounted on this tiny, two-seat bubble-cockpit-thingie sheâd never flown in before. Why the last-minute change to this mosquito of an aircraft, she had no idea. But she had a bad feeling about it. What if the camera mount came loose? Or the helicopter crashed and killed her? Or...
