Former air force pilot Max Taylor has gained something of a reputation with the high-society ladies he shuttles around on his charter airline service.

Looking to lie low while the courts restore his good name, Max has decided to hide out with his grandfather in the tiny town of Trouble, Pennsylvania. Sabrina Cavanaugh isn''t the sultry, mysterious heiress she''s pretending to be. In fact, she''s a junior book editor who happens to be on a mission — to nail Max Taylor for the womanizing creep he is. Having worked hand in hand with the loose-lipped widow in writing her memoirs, there''s no way Sabrina''s going to let some spoiled (and hot) flyboy kill her career-making project with a lawsuit. It looks as if the love of a lifetime is on the horizon.

If only he''d taken another route to Trouble, Pennsylvania.
