Today, in Meet a Character Friday,  <\/b>I’m very pleased to present Angie Meyers, a kickasss helicopter pilot and a single mom from Kathryn Jane’s upcoming novel All She Wanted, <\/i>book 6 from her Intrepid Women Series. <\/i>Of course, life for Angie presents all types of trouble, especially when the man she loves, pig-headed Dr. Matthias Alejandro Martinez, places her happily ever after on hold. Add to the mix of frustration a terrifying element:  a group of organized criminals are threatening her brother’s children. This is the beginning of a thrilling ride (I can well imagine Angie showing us a hell of a helicopter ride!). Oh, and did I mention that there is a secret? Yep, Angie has a secret – the identity of her son’s father, known only to her.
Intrigued?  Tantalized?

Angie Meyers is the red-head on the upper right. Seems to love life, and her kid. if only the man she loves would fall in line and nasty criminals stop threatening her family. Well, she’s the type of woman who will definitely take matters into her own hands. After all, she needs to make sure her future follows her long-term plans.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

EXCERPT<\/b>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI. Don\u2019t. Do. Christmas.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Angie resisted the impulse to argue. Their relationship had been on his terms for years, and for a very good reason. But this time Dr. Matthias Alejandro Martinez was just being stubborn. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
And she still had four months to strategize. To convince him how important it was to spend Christmas at the ranch with her and their son. Until now, she\u2019d never argued, never asked for anything, believed she had no choice but to go along with him because that\u2019s what you did when you were in love with a heart-stoppingly gorgeous man who didn\u2019t exist in the real world. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAre we good here?\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Oh, not by a long shot, pal. \u201cYou know I have to be gone, like, ten minutes ago.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
He reached out with the sureness of an old lover and ran a fingertip along her jawbone, cupped her chin. \u201cWill you kiss me goodbye?\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
He always asked, never took. And, dammit, she couldn\u2019t look into those serious blue eyes and deny the man anything. He\u2019d been making her crazy for years, so why would it change now? She lifted to her tiptoes, and slid her fingers into the thick, unruly hair brushing the back of his white collar. \u201cI hate you,\u201d she said and dragged his mouth down to hers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d Hands on her butt, he lifted her off her feet, and just when she was afraid the top of her head was going to blow off, the vibration of his cell made her groan. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYou programmed that, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
He set her down with a sexy chuckle and slipped on heavy, black-rimmed glasses to check the display. \u201cI have to take this.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cNo worries. I need to be gone anyway.\u201d <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Before she could turn away, he caught her hand, ran his teeth across the knuckles, then put the phone on speaker. \u201cMartinez, stand by.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Angie closed the door softly behind her and made it halfway to the stairwell before she stopped. She could go back, make him understand how important Christmas was for her, why she was making plans in September. She gave her head a shake. No. And no point standing here looking like an idiot, either. Every inch of this place was on video monitor\u2026except for the offices, washrooms and private suites. ETCETERA acknowledged few boundaries, but certain privacies were<\/i> respected.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
By the time she traversed a complex network of tunnels and reached the secure warehouse where her ride was stashed, she\u2019d managed\u2014as always\u2014to put things in perspective. She loved a man who couldn\u2019t follow the regular rules of relationships. A man who lived outside societal norms, underground\u2014literally\u2014and she was one of the few people who even knew he was alive. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
She pressed her hand against the black surface of the biometric palm reader and waited until the door of the man trap opened. Once inside, she stared into the retina scanner until it beeped, then waited beside her reflection on the wall of one-way glass. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
She wasn\u2019t one to primp in front of a mirror, but she did run her fingers through her short hair to straighten what she<\/i> called a man-cut\u2014but Matt called sexy when he had his mouth on her sensitive neck. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Suddenly overwarm, she undid the top button of her flight suit, pushed up the sleeves, and sighed with relief when the lock finally snicked open.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
She nodded to the guard on duty. \u201cI\u2019ll have the machine out of here in five.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cNeed help?\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThanks, but I\u2019ve got it.\u201d She strode to the small but powerful black helicopter\u2014nicknamed the Bug\u2014and pushed buttons on the portable landing mat where it was perched. She was grateful to be back functioning in a way that made sense. Every action had a purpose and a consequence. Order mattered. Machines and flight she understood, but people confused the hell out of her. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The door lifted and the craft slid out into the bright light of day, where she went through the well-ordered steps, beginning with a walk-around, then climbing in to deal with switches, buttons, gauges and readings. Like a familiar dance, she sailed through the steps, and once the rotor RPMs were in the green, lifted off and navigated the crowded urban airspace.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Not until reaching a comfortable cruising altitude did she allow herself to tune back in to her personal life. To Matthias and the Christmas Dilemma. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
One disadvantage of loving a man with a brilliant mind was the sound reasoning for his decisions. But Angie never backed away from a challenge. Ever. And losing gracefully was something she\u2019d never been very good at. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Fortunately, the flight was long, and by the time her corner of NE Texas came into sight, she had a plan.<\/span> <\/p>\n
