HOT UNDER PRESSURE

Ashley Larsen hates flying, but it comes with the job. She is a small boutique owner who travels all over looking for the best designs to showcase in her stores located in Chicago. When David McLean takes the seat next to Ashley, suddenly she isn't as afraid of the delay and hopes it will last. After several hours on the plan the captain tells the members that they will not be flying out that night. Ashley and David take there cues and get a hotel room together.

Can an affair last while Ashley lives in Chicago and David lives in New York, with no intentions of visiting Chicago because of his ex-wife and brothers affair?

I just have to say...what can't every flight be like this one? I would love to be sitting there and a sexy man sit beside me. I would love for the chemistry to be so intense that no words need to be spoken, they already know their outcome. David is a different hero. He thinks about Ashley, but knows it's only an affair and tries a dating service. Most men know their woman and claim them. That's why I loved this story. David wasn't sure and neither was Ashley. Ashley is a strong heroine. She loves her family, her mother, sister and niece. They all share a house and the bond is strong between them. Ashley has her shops at several locations in Chicago, she has a great thing going. Until she starts to encounter problems. But she doesn't give up. She fights to the end and it helps having David in her corner backing her up and more importantly believing in her. This was another remarkable read from Ms. O'Reilly. She just keeps her readers begging for more.

SUMMARY

Boutique owner Ashley Larsen hates flying. Especially when there's a sugar-fueled little hellion on board. But then David McLean (sexy!) sits next to her, and suddenly Ashley finds herself hoping the delay will last foreverβ€”and that David won't notice her comfy pink bunny slippers (sadly, the opposite of sexy). David does notice Ashley, and when the flight is delayed overnight, they can't get to the airport hotel fast enough. Off with the slippers and in with the zing! Fortunately, America is filled with citiesβ€”L.A., New York, Miamiβ€”and nothing says "smoking-hot passion" like an intercontinental affair!
