Taylor Milton Corben, owner and CEO of Eros Airlines and Fantasy Adventure Vacations, needs someone she can trust to look into all the strange things that are occurring at her resort lately. After discussing the situation with former Air Force Captain Dougal Lockhart, she knows he’ll be the right man to find the answers as to why all these things are happening and exactly who’s behind all this sabotage. Who else would be as perfect a fit as Dougal not only because he started his own private duty air marshal service once he left the military, but also Taylor’s husband, Daniel, is his best friend. Taylor and Daniel will not skimp in any way in trying to find the answers they so desperately need right now.
Upon hiring Dougal and the Lockhart Agency, Taylor explains there’ll be strict stipulations that he and his men must follow. They must work undercover as tour guides not only on Eros Airlines, but also at the resorts as well. They will work for the entire first two weeks in May and he and his men must take the tour guide training along with the rest of her new employees. Lastly, they all must wear costumes. Although Dougal isn’t happy about this stipulation, nonetheless he agrees to the terms and gets his men ready to find the necessary answers as quickly as possible before anyone gets seriously hurt.
Other than the pilot and copilot, Dougal is the only male aboard this Eros flight to London. He can’t help feeling like the last cut of beef in a meat market. The women all ogle him and make passes left and right, but Dougal keeps everything professional. That is, until Roxie Stanley, the only alone female passenger, boards the plane and all his senses seem to go haywire. Something about her puts Dougal’s levelheadedness right out the window. He finds her so beautiful and wants to get to know more about her, but there’s one more stipulation holding him back. He has signed a morality clause and has promised that he and his men will not get romantically involved with any of the clients. But Roxie is someone he needs to keep an eye on because it’s odd she’s traveling by herself. Something just doesn’t sit well about that with him.
Can Dougal find out more about Roxie without letting his personal feelings get in the way of his mission? Who really is Roxie and why is she taking this vacation by herself? Do Dougal and his team find out if all the occurrences are related and who might be behind each one?
I absolutely fell in love with Ms. Wilde’s storyline and her characters. I was immediately pulled into the story and I found myself guessing all along who might have been behind all the sabotage. I instantly fell in love with Dougal and I had hoped that he kept his head straight about what he needed to do for this mission. Once I saw how much chemistry he and Roxie had though, I found myself hoping he would bend the rules without getting caught even if it meant his contract with Eros would be in jeopardy. I’ve been a huge fan of Ms. Wilde for years now and she doesn’t disappoint her fans in any way with this story. This is one I highly recommend and I look forward to her next release. Don’t pass this one up!
