From #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen comes a classic tale of excitement, risk, and romance, as two people make a connection so unexpected and so intimate, it may have consequences for a lifetime. Gorgeous Hollywood stunt double Kendra Michaels is vying for the job of her life—a high-paying, high-risk jump that will clear the debt on her brother’s medical bills. Casey Michaels was a stuntman himself until a job went tragically wrong. Now Kendra is prepared to take the same chance. There’s just one man standing in her way, a man whose irresistible magnetism seduced her in ways she’d never experienced—and never before surrendered to....
Director Joel Damon gets what he wants. And he wants Kendra. But the explosive attraction he feels at the mere sight of her is entirely new to him, and it hasn’t disappeared, not since their one unforgettable night together—and not since Joel discovered she wasn’t the experienced starlet he’d mistaken her for. Now he’s determined to extend that night into many more. But he’ll have to keep Kendra alive to do it, even if it ruins her career. For he has bigger plans in mind for her than she ever imagined.
Kendra is a stunt person and is trying to get a very risky job. She needs money to pay bills for her brother's medical bills. Joel is a director who gets what he wants and he wants Kendra. This is a fast moving romance. I enjoyed it.
This reprint of a 1983 category romance is a bit dated and dumb, but still a good quick read. The hero is a very protective Alpha-male type and the heroine is a stuntwoman, so of course sparks fly. I actually thought the heroine's independance was a bit overdone; she was kind of getting on my nerves by the end of the story.
