Stormy laughed deeply at her husband’s sense of humor. It very much needed to be improved. “You’re a brave man to say that to a woman who’s just given birth. Now kiss me and shut up.”
He gladly did.

Wow, I can’t believe how much I have enjoyed writing this book—this entire series, actually. Since my daughter took an interest in flying and got her private pilot’s license, I have become just as fascinated with planes. I still don’t like flying on the little ones, but I have to admit, they are a thrill. It’s even somewhat enjoyable once I’ve had a glass (or five) of wine.
I worked for the airlines as a customer service rep for years, and while doing that made some lifelong friends as well, so I’ve been around these confident pilots for quite some time. There truly is something about them that gives them a little extra swagger because they know they can do something most people can’t. I model my heroes after these sexy men in my life.
I have met a new family at Montlake and I’m so glad I’ve joined them. I adore my editors, Maria and Lauren, who have pushed me to be a better writer. They have been instrumental in truly making this story the best it can be. Their encouragement and tough love have made this a fun story! As always, I want to thank my family and all my dear friends. I am nothing without them, and their continued support means the world to me. I had help from those sexy pilots with different things in this book, as well. So thank you, Drew, Pat, and Chris.
A special thank you as well to Adam and Eddie, who I worked with at the airlines, and who are still great friends, who don’t fly anymore, but still love planes as much as the rest and have a vast knowledge of the industry.
Finally, thank you to my fans. Your excitement, love of the books, and encouragement make me want to write day and night. Thank you for bringing me into your homes and for the love you give me. Words will never be able to express what you mean to me.
