Synopsis:
Senior flight attendant Judy Winston is on the wrong flight at the wrong
time when hijackers try to take over her airplane while it’s still parked at
the gate. During the evacuation, she’s abruptly thrown down the emergency
slide by DEA agent Chase Danton.
Chase has seen enough in his lifetime. He watches the brave flight attendant
save the passengers—now he has to save her. The DEA suspects that a ring of
airline employees are smuggling drugs on flights and Agent Danton recruits
Judy to go undercover at her airline.
Who is the ringleader? It must be someone high up in the airline…
Chase’s demanding, no-nonsense attitude grates on Judy. Strong-willed, she
won’t bend to his demands—or will she?
When the drug smugglers find where Judy’s been Hiding In Plain Sight, Chase
vows to protect her as they fall into a highly-charged, passionate and
dangerous love affair.

From the first sentence
Barbara Goodwin's Hiding in Plain Sight is an adrenaline rush of
action packed, nonstop excitement for both Judy Winston and the readers
fortunate enough to join her on her journey. Flight Attendant Judy literally
stumbles upon a hijacking that turns out to be drug related, and as a result
the drug dealers target her for retaliation. Enter DEA Agent Chase Danton,
Ms. Goodwin's classic romance hero with a twist; he's ten years younger than
Judy. He's sent to protect her, and end's up falling for her as well. The
age difference adds a number of interesting levels to the story, and causes
both Judy and Chase to reflect on what they do and ultimately could mean to
each other.
There are a number of
twists, turns and adventures in this book: it is one adventure after the
other with Judy managing to make it from one day to the next -- somehow.
Part of the charm of the story are the secondary characters, everyone from
Judy's son Doug, to Chase's partner Daniel to their dogs Yukon, Bingo and
Jimmy Olsen, each one add to and enliven the story. For what is supposed to
be an author's first novel, Hiding in Plain Sight is an exceptional
result. If this is the quality of work Ms. Goodwin is able to deliver her
first time, I can not wait to read her next book.
