Brown, S: Tailspin

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with another suspenseful thriller.

Rye Mallett is a 'freight dog', a pilot who'll fly anywhere in the world, at any time, at a moment's notice, through the worst weather.  As a fighter pilot in Afghanistan, he escaped death once.  Figuring that it's only a matter of time before it catches up with him, he tempts it by taking risks. 

But one night he takes to the air, when no other pilot would, to deliver a black padlocked box.  What awaits him at his destination is a near crash . . . and a run-in with Dr. Brynn O'Neal.  Brynn, a dedicated physician, is under a forty-eight hour deadline to save a patient by means of the contents of the box Rye delivers.

She's lovely to look at, but Rye doesn't trust her.  He's volatile and a threat to Brynn's plan.  But soon they're reluctantly teamed in a mad race against the clock, the law, and the ruthless individuals who will kill in order to get the precious payload for themselves.

Lust, jealousy, and murder suffuse Brown's crisp thriller - Publishers Weekly
