âYou have too many clothes on,â Aidan murmured.
Lily crawled out of her seat and retrieved a pair of blankets from the overhead bin. The cabin was silent and dark, the flight attendants busy in the galley. She sat down next to him and handed him one.
He chuckled softly, drawing her back onto his lap. âGood idea.â Aidan pulled the blanket around them and worked at the buttons on her blouse.
Lily stared up into his eyes. Suddenly she felt a bit light-headed. âI think we need more privacy,â she whispered. âIâll meet you in the bathroom. Wait for a minute or two and then come back.â
She rebuttoned her blouse and crawled off him, then tiptoed down the aisle. She wasnât afraid, and thatâs what surprised her most. Lily had spent years being fearful of one thing or another. Maybe it was the alcohol, or the altitudeâor simply the man himself. But Lily knew exactly what she wantedâno doubts, no insecurities.
A few seconds later Aidan knocked at the door. Lily opened it without hesitation. She was going to have this man, here and now. And she was determined she wouldnât regret it tomorrow.
Dear Reader,
Whatâs my fantasy? I have more than a few. How about a live-in masseuse, or a cat that doesnât shed. A computer that can type the words directly from my brain to my word processing program without me having to lift a finger. I wouldnât mind having a coffee bar in my kitchen with a barista to run it. And Iâd love a car that cleaned itself. So none of my fantasies involve sex, but sometimes a girl just needs help with the everyday stuff.
In Incognito, I got a chance to explore the naughty side of fantasies. Lily Hart makes one of her fantasies come true when she has the chance to step outside herself and become the kind of woman whoâd seduce a man at first sight. And it all happens at 20,000 feet!
I hope you enjoy her story. And I hope you get the chance to make one of your forbidden fantasies come true.
Happy reading,
Kate Hoffmann

Last Summer
âYOU HAVE our tickets, donât you?â
Lily Hart sighed softly, her meditation interrupted. She was due to get on a plane in a half hour and if she didnât calm herself, the panic attacks would set in the moment she stepped on board. âYes, Miranda, I have the tickets. Have I ever forgotten the tickets?â
She reached down into her tote and pulled out the ridiculously expensive Italian leather travel wallet that Miranda had given her last Christmas. As she stared at their boarding passes, tucked neatly into the inside pocket, Lily shook her head. This was her lifeâdesigner accessories, first-class tickets to Paris, three weeks in a rented six-bedroom apartment on some fancy rue on the Left Bank. This was her life.
Except it wasnât her life. She was living the life of Miranda Sinclair, bestselling novelist. As Mirandaâs research assistant, social secretary and girl Friday, it was Lilyâs responsibility to see that Mirandaâs life was as close to worry-free as possible. And for that, she was paid quite handsomely.
A good-paying job shouldnât come at such a high price, Lily mused. Miranda was Lilyâs godmother and sheâd been her legal guardian since Lilyâs parents divorced fourteen years ago. Miranda had offered her a home, a place to live when her parents had decided to leave the States. Miranda needed her, more than anyone had ever needed her before, and Lily ought to be grateful.
âIâm sorry,â Lily murmured. âI didnât mean to snap. You know how I feel about flying.â
Miranda reached out and patted Lilyâs hand. In addition to providing a home, Miranda had paid Lilyâs college tuition and sheâd given her a job when she got out of school. Lily was grateful. Yet she couldnât help but wonder what it might be like to have a life all her own.
