The Flyboy's Temptation
Kimberly Van Meter
Risky business…A redhead with long legs, creamy kissable skin, and a big fat wad of cash? That's the kind of trouble former Air Force pilot J.T. Carmichael can't resist.With his charter flight business on verge of bankruptcy, J.T. can't afford to say no to the money or the uniquely sexy woman who needs to get to South America immediately. Until the bullets start flying…When his plane goes down somewhere in the Mexican jungle, J.T. realizes two things: 1) he might not make it out alive, and 2) he wants Hope Larsen something fierce. Stranded and fighting for their lives, neither Hope nor J.T. can avoid in the inevitable rush of pure, heated lust. Now this flyboy isn't just flying in the face of danger…he's sleeping with her.
Risky business...
A redhead with long legs, creamy kissable skin and a big fat wad of cash? That’s the kind of trouble former Air Force pilot J. T. Carmichael can’t resist.

Until the bullets start flying...
When his plane goes down somewhere in the Mexican jungle, J.T. realizes two things: (1) he might not make it out alive, and (2) he wants Hope Larsen something fierce. Stranded and fighting for their lives, neither Hope nor J.T. can avoid the inevitable rush of pure, heated lust. Now this flyboy isn’t just flying in the face of danger...he’s sleeping with her.
“Sometimes you just have to go with the moment...”
“Shared intense experiences can create a false sense of attraction that is often misconstrued as something deeper,” Hope said, lifting her chin.
“Interesting,” J.T. said. “Care to put your theory to the test?”
“W-what do you mean?” she stammered, her eyes widening as he walked slowly toward her. “And it’s not a theory. It’s a proven scientific fact.”
“So prove it,” he said in a low tone, stalking her like a jungle cat. He backed her against the wall, trapping her within the space of his arms. She looked adorably perplexed and uncertain as to how to handle their close proximity.
He knew he ought to knock it off, and, in truth, he’d started this just to mess with her. But now that he was in her space, he was just as affected.
“We agreed to keep things professional,” she reminded him in a breathy voice.

Dear Reader (#ulink_5e92089d-3e0a-5b18-acbf-4e55e1297381),
I’ve always wanted to write a story with a plane crash in a jungle. I don’t know why this appeals to me so much, but I adore stories featuring this plot element. So when I struck upon an idea that involved this very thing, I was beyond excited.
What I didn’t take into consideration was the immense amount of research I would have to do, seeing as I know next to nothing about the Amazon jungle aside from it is very dense and there are a million ways to die a grisly death.
All I can say is thank goodness for Google Earth.
However, it was a fun challenge to craft a fun, sexy and wild ride through the Amazon with two complete polar opposites for love interests.
I hope you laugh, bite your nails and blush when you read this story!
Enjoy.
Kim
