Pushing the Limits — Katherine Garbera

"Houston, we have a hot-astronaut problem…"

Survival expert and control freak Jessie Odell has faced the most hazardous environments on earth. Training astronauts should be a cakewalk. Nope. Enter candidate Hemi "Thor" Barrett and his hot, ripped bod, and suddenly Jessie is breathless with raw excitement -- something she hasn't felt for a long, long time -- and it scares her to death.

Hemi isn't just some sexy distraction. Jessie actually likes the guy -- and that makes him more treacherous than an Everest ascent. It also means Hemi's that much harder to resist. With every hungry, heat-fueled encounter, Jessie skirts closer to that dangerous edge. Falling for this space cowboy is definitely high stakes…but could the payoff be worth the risk?
