Voo Do Love Me!

*** Book 2 in the 'Extreme Travel' Series ***

Kes and James go on another CIA trip, but this time, to Haiti (written before the big earthquake of 2010). After being the only survivors of a plane crash, they run into a voodoo clan, Kes is practically eaten by leeches, and someone wants James and her dead.

In other words, it's just another 'fun' day for Kes while helping the CIA in a job she doesn't even have.

Excerpt

"We're going to crash!" the pilot yelled. "Everyone prepare for the worst! God bless you all!"

That was the last thing we heard before the oxygen masks fell from the ceiling. Each of us grabbed a mask in an attempt to save our life.

Mr. Hamilton, or James, my boss and my current boyfriend, sat to my right. He also owned the newspaper where I worked.

"I love you, Kes," James whispered, in his slightly British accent, looking terrified.

Tears filled my eyes as I stared into his blue eyes and stroked his hair. "I love you, too. If we don't come out of this alive—"

"I know." He helped me put on my mask before taking one for himself. He held my hand, and I closed my eyes, awaiting impact. Since we'd been in many near-death situations before, we knew to stay calm, even though my stomach thought otherwise.

Ben Casey—in the event that his last name really was Casey because he was a CIA agent—sat to my left. After putting on his mask, he grabbed my other hand and moved it to his lap. I could feel the men grasp hold of my hands for all they were worth, both trying to keep me for their own. We all shook in fear as the plane took more of a nosedive. People screamed and cried, but there was nothing we could do about the inevitable, except to pray.

Given my past brushes with death, I knew it was my time to die. There were no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Death was imminent, so I thought back over my life, trying to focus on something positive.
