Red-hot attraction is dangerous in this new Prescott Bachelors romance by New York Times bestselling author Cindy Dees!
To help his brothers, marine pilot Archer Prescott goes undercover to find out who’s sabotaging their movie set. But the die-hard bachelor isn’t ready for what he finds in the High Sierras: his doe-eyed, girl-next-door camerawoman is the prime suspect.
Marley Stringer isn’t as innocent as she seems. As Marley turns irresistible and the aerial “accidents” turn deadly, Archer begins to wonder who’s more dangerous—the perfect woman who threatens his heart…or the desperate killer who threatens his life.
“Have you had many men in your life?”
Marley snorted with laughter.
He pushed up on one elbow to stare down at her. “You’re an attractive woman. Has something bad happened to put you off men?”
“No, I’ve just always been that girl next door who fades into the woodwork.”
He laid a hand on her cheek, preventing her from looking away. “Stop putting yourself down.”
“But—”
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.
“Relax, Marley,” he murmured. His hand roamed from the back of her knee up her thigh, and darned if her legs didn’t obey him and fall apart. His hand slid up by inches …
“What are you doing?”
“I’m establishing that all the guys who failed to ask you out in the past are complete idiots. Are you okay with that?”
Okay? No, she wasn’t okay with this. She wanted more …

I’m asked often why I don’t write more books about pilots, given that I was a military pilot for years. The truth is, I didn’t 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 insider’s 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 last…
Happy reading!

Marley Stringer crouched in front of the movie camera, checking it one last time, even though she’d already checked it twice. Everything was ready to go. But
