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.

Summary
Overall It is fun to read some of Iris' older work. This must have been when she started creating the 'stubborn to the point of stupid' female. Kendra was just a little to stubborn/stupid for me to really like her. I believe this is one of the first books in Sedikhan. Kendra was a stunt double which could have made a great storyline. It was exciting to read Iris' bio in the front of the book to see what was going on with her in the late 80's.
Violence There is a little violence when they meet Yarsef and the risk of being a stund double. Nothing disturbing.
Language Profanity throughout the book
Sexual
Drug & AlcoholShe had some drinks with a pain killer and made some questionable decisions. some causal drinking.
