Dear Reader,

I was sitting down one day, talking with my friend, Rachael, when we saw a huntsman spider. Eww! Once we’d both stopped squealing and my husband had removed said spider, we started talking about using a spider to bring two people together. My friend also loved the name Hayden, so I promised her I would use the name as well as the spider together in one story…and this is it!

Annie shares my fear of the eight-legged creatures but thankfully she finds a knight in shining armor—her next-door neighbor, Hayden—to rescue her. When she realizes her sexy neighbor is also her boss, poor Annie’s heart rate goes into overtime.

I had so much fun writing Annie and Hayden’s story. I hope you enjoy it, and remember—huntsman spiders always travel in pairs. Eww!

With warmest regards,

Lucy Clark
