The heroine: Kylie – she has worked very hard and saved up for over a year to get a one-week vacation and she planned to go to Bermuda and spend the week on the beach. Basically, all she packed were bathing suits, she even wore her bikini and a cover up to the airport, planning on going straight to the beach after landing. However, her flight was cancelled and there she met a very handsome man whose flight was also canceled. She did something totally unexpected and went into a conference room with him at the airport to have a sexual encounter.
The Heroes: Damien – He is wealthy and good looking, he can have almost anything he wants, but his relationships never last long and once they are over, the women are gone from his life. Until Kylie. Damien wanted Kylie as soon as he sees her in the airport. When he hears her flight was canceled, he pretends to be on the same flight and propositions her to have an interlude in a nearby conference room. Then he escorts her on to his private jet and while he is off taking a business call, an ex of his that wants him back, Faleena gets on the plane and tells Kylie a bunch of things that scare her off. Kylie gets off the plane and runs.
The Story: Damien searched for Kylie for three years, using private investigators, trolling the airport where they met and other means. Finally, after all that time, he found her when she got a job at a hospital billing office and moved to San Francisco. Though he didn’t get the information that Kylie was now a single mother of a little boy named Dean.
Every now and then I get in the mood for a secret baby trope. For this one, I liked the fact that Kylie never knew who Damien really was, so the fact that she didn’t tell him he had a kid wasn’t an issue. I really hate it when the mother hides her pregnancy and/or baby from its father, so I was glad that wasn’t part of this story. Though after he found out she had a son, he didn’t immediately ask if the child was his, which seemed very stupid to me.
Since Damien was a Dom, there was certainly plenty of Steam and BDSM in this story. The two main characters had chemistry from the start and their quickie in the public conference room at the airport was pretty hot. The only thing I didn’t really like was the love at first sight angle of the story, which pretty much was the only way to justify Damian searching for her for three years, but it just seems so impossible to me to care for someone so much after one interaction.
