Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling authors of Stuck-Up Suit
and Cocky Bastard, comes a sexy new standalone novel.
Money or love? Which would you choose?
You probably just answered the question in your head
thinking it's an easy decision.
For me, it's not. Did I mention it's a lot of money? A hell
of a lot.
I needed to go far away to think it through.
As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I
met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation.
Then, he left.
I thought I'd never see him again.
But fate had other plans.
Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.
The bigger surprise was the adventure that followed after
the plane landed.
Carter was dangerous and always on the move.
Even though our connection was magnetic, I knew it was only
temporary.
He would give me tickets, and I would follow him around the
world to exotic places.
A bevvy of flight attendant exes and rumors about Carter's
reputation were never far behind.
I didn't know what to believe.
But I was addicted. Nothing else mattered anymore. And I was
going to get hurt. Because a part of me wanted to be the one to finally ground
the playboy pilot.
At the very least, he was taking me on a thrilling ride.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.
Playboy Pilot releases on September 19th!

Excerpt
The driver began to shout something in Portuguese. The way
his finger was wagging, I assumed he was telling the person that the cab was
full. But the passenger didn’t listen. Next thing I knew, I was sitting next to
someone in the back seat.
Someone wearing a uniform.
Captain Carter Clynes in the flesh.
He turned to face me with a wicked grin on his face. “My
layover just got more interesting.”
Damn. He seemed to have grown that stubble overnight.
“How was your flight, Perky? Did you enjoy the ride I gave
you?”
“My shirt’s dry. I think you can drop the Perky.”
His eyes lowered to my breasts. Of course, my nipples were
standing at full attention since the sheen of sweat on my skin had met the cool
air-conditioning inside the cab.
Carter scrubbed his hands over his face. “Damn. You weren’t
kidding about those things. I haven’t slept in eighteen hours, and they just
woke me up. I think they’re contagious, and I’m fucking perky now.”
“That’s not really an appropriate thing to say to a woman
you just met, you know.”
“We didn’t just meet. This is our third date.”
“Third date?”
“I bought you dinner in an elegant restaurant for our first
one and took you up for a plane ride for our second one. Those were damn good
dates. Some women would kill for that kind of lavishness. Seems fitting date
three we should be heading to a hotel.” He winked.
I wasn’t sure if it was the time change, my being tired from
restless sleep on the plane, or if it was possible this man could say anything
and I wouldn’t be offended. Why am I not I offended?
When I didn’t respond, he continued. “I’m glad I saw you.
Didn’t think I would ever see you again.”
“That might be because you didn’t look for me.”
“I never thought you’d actually take my suggestion and fly
to Brazil.”
I mumbled. “Neither did I.”
The cab driver interrupted, looking between us to ask, “You
share cab, yes?”
Surprising me, Carter answered. In Portuguese. The language
that sounded choppy and frustrating just two minutes ago, suddenly sounded sexy
and romantic.
He turned back to me in English. “What hotel are you staying
at?”
“I was just trying to figure that out with a little help
from Google. Do you have one to recommend?”
“You trust me to pick out where you’ll stay tonight?”
I considered his question for a minute. It was illogical,
that much I knew, but I did trust him to pick my hotel. Lord knows why. “I
think I do.”
That response earned me another sexy grin that had me more
excited than I’d been in the last year.
Almost a half-hour later, we were finally off the highway
and traveling into what looked like a residential neighborhood. “Barra da
Tijuca.” I read the street sign aloud.
“Very good. I should probably warn you. It’s probably not
the type of hotel you’re used to.”
“What does that mean?”
“You look like you’re more of the luxury chain with a spa
type of woman, that’s all.”
Even though that was exactly what I’d typed into Google,
when he said it that way, it sounded like a bad thing. It made me defensive.
“And what’s wrong with a luxury hotel? Sometimes a girl needs a massage and a
soak in a nice bathtub while traveling.”
“Well, you certainly won’t be getting either of those where
we’re heading.” Carter caught my eye. “Unless I’m the one doing the massaging,
that is.”
I blushed, which caused Carter to chuckle. “You really are
fucking adorable. I’m not sure what’s sexier, the fact that you’re up for
letting me take you on this little adventure, or that you secretly like the
thought of me giving you a massage.”
“I do not!” My quick, defensive response only confirmed he
was right.
He leaned to me. “Do, too.”
“You’re off base.”
“That’s a shame. I’ve been told I’m really good with my
hands.” He held out his hands in front of him, examining them. Big hands. Hands
that looked like he used them to do some actual work when he wasn’t flying a
plane.
Damn.
