Excerpt of Too Close to the Fire by Jaydyn Chelcee

“Ha! I’m a damn good pilot.”

“Give you a little power, and you’re a petrifying terrorist behind the controls!”

“I have excellent piloting skills.”

“Oh, yeah? What about all those rough patches, the plane shaking and dropping altitude?”

“Is it my fault there have been several stretches of turbulence? I can’t control the weather, for Pete’s sake. Besides, I owed you for the ‘damnable incident.’”

“What damnable incident?”

“You know what damnable incident.”

“I have no idea what you’re jabbering about. Stop fooling around with the plane,” he yelled. “You’re going to kill us!”
