When Aubrey Thomas, a phobic travel writer, must choose between jumping
to what she considerers certain death from a skydiving static line or sinking
even deeper into debt in the unemployment line, she scrambles to find
someone—anyone!—who can help her overcome her debilitating fear of heights.
Enter John Trelawney, a charming window washer who thinks nothing of dangling
by a cable fifty stories up and claims he can cure her. Everything about John
makes Aubrey nervous... including the way her heart kicks into overdrive
whenever he's around. But, at the end of her rope, she takes him up on his
offer.
Can he really help her get over her fear of heights? Or will Aubrey find
herself free falling...possibly even in love with him?
Excerpt
John smirked. "You're
not afraid of heights."
Her defenses on high
alert, Aubrey shot back, "Oh yes I am," well aware that she
sounded like a fifth grader picking a fight on the playground.
With a quick shake of his
head and that same teasing smile, he murmured, "You're just
afraid of falling."
The thought had never
occurred to Aubrey, but it made perfect sense, especially after
seeing her first husband fall headfirst to his death.
As if reading her mind, he
added, "And I can totally help you get over that."
Ah, here we go.
"Heh. Yeah. I'll be
you can." She attempted to stand, but he sprang up first.
"Easy does it."
Taking her clammy hand in his, he pulled her to a standing position.
"You sure you're OK?"
When she nodded, he
reached into his back pocket and produced a pen. Next, he uncurled
her hand and started writing something on her open palm.
But the ink wouldn't
stick. Her skin was still too damp.
Which might explain what
he did next.
Aubrey watched,
mesmerized, as he held her open palm to his mouth and blew on it.
While part of her brain
knew he was just trying to dry her skin, when he locked his eyes on
hers, the rest of her was all in for him doing more of the same on
the rest of her clammy self.
