Excerpt:
Damn. What've I done?
Dr. Charlotte James had been
watching the arrivals board in the Iqaluit airport for some time. She was so
focused on arrivals she didn't even notice the people coming and going around
her. A watched pot never boiled, or so the old saying went, but she couldn't
help it. This was probably the longest she'd ever stood still. In her job there
was no time to stand still. In fact, she hated it. She could be doing so many
other things. Filing, for instance.
Not that she particularly liked
filing. She preferred her organized chaos. However, there were a ton of files
on her desk, and Rosie had been pestering her for a week to put them away.
Instead, she was waiting here for his flight to arrive.
"Flight 207 from Ottawa
now arriving at gate three."
The past, when it came to Dr.
Quinn Devlyn, was where it needed to be: firmly locked away. She'd moved on and
she had no doubt his life had, too.
He was, after all, at the top
in his chosen specialty, and she was right where she'd always wanted to be.
This time Quinn Devlyn wouldn't
blindside her or suck her into some crazy off-kilter distracting, albeit
passionate, love affair.
No, siree.
Her life was good. Not perfect
but, then, whose was? Charlotte was happy. Courage.
She spun around and saw the
plane taxi in on the small airstrip, blending in with the stark, white
landscape of Canada's High Arctic. The only color out there was the brightly
painted houses that dotted the landscape. Her pulse thundered between her ears.
He's here.
The pit of Charlotte's stomach
dropped to her knees. No. Scratch that. Make it the soles of her feet. Not
since her MCATs had she felt this way, as though she was perpetually on the
verge of hurling.
She was seriously beginning to
doubt her sanity in bringing her ex-fiance up to Cape Recluse. It wasn't a
place where she could avoid him easily. He'd be constantly underfoot and she
was dreading every moment of it. Would she be able to resist him? The only time
she had resisted him had been when he'd left. When their relationship had
ended, she'd never wanted to see him again, but his presence here now was a
price she was willing to pay to help out her friend. Get a grip on yourself.
A blast of cold air shook her
from her reverie. Her gaze focused on the tinted windows, watching the
passengers head across the tarmac to the warmth of the bright yellow airport
building. Immediately she picked Quinn's form out of the group of passengers.
Tall and broad, even though he
was huddled down under his collar against the cold. Just the sight of him made
her heart beat a little bit faster, her cheeks heat and the butterflies in her
stomach go crazy. Her pulse thundered between her ears like a marching band.
She hadn't seen him in five years--not since he'd walked out on her--but he was
making her feel like a giddy teenager again.
Don't let him affect you like
this, Charlotte chastised herself.
She'd moved on with her life. The wound he'd left in her heart had finally
healed.
The double doors opened and he
stepped into the airport, moving to the side to let more people in from the
frigid cold. He set down his luggage and unwound his scarf.
Damn, he still looks as good as
ever. Charlotte had been kind of
hoping Quinn's fast, career-driven lifestyle would've caught up with and aged
him, but he looked as sexy and charming as ever.
Even from a few feet away she
could see there was a bit of gray around his sandy-brown temples, but it suited
him. Made him look more dashing and debonair.
