About the book
It would be tempting fate to love a man like him...
Her brother's wife had just delivered twins, so Lindsey tried to blot out the memories of her father's death and fly to Germany.
If it hadn't been for the strong, sensitive man sitting beside her, Lindsey would have been in pieces by the time they landed. Cole Farrel seemed to admire her for facing her fears of flying head-on.
But there was a greater fear--her fear of loving a man who, like her father, flew planes for a living.
