Sometimes
the future lies in the past…
Sandy Collins hasn’t thought about him in
years, not since he broke her heart and broke off their engagement. She’s built
a great nursing career for herself, and most of all, she’s happy. Until she
ruined it by walking into that staff meeting…
After the passing of his grandmother, Daniel and his
daughter Keri have moved back to town and taken up residence in her house.
Things are looking up after several rough years, but on the first day of work
at his new job as a pediatrician, Daniel gets an unexpected surprise—in the
form of a nurse he’s never been able to forget.
As much as she tries to fight it, Sandy can’t deny the
attraction. Daniel makes it clear that he’s sorry and wants another shot, and
he’s willing to do whatever it takes. But the last thing Sandy wants is to
relive the misery from the past. But how can she resist when it seems as though
fate is stepping in?
Excerpt
Grabbing her purse, Sandy tossed in her phone and keys and climbed
out of the car. Her breath caught from the sight of him. Daniel was waiting for
her by the door. She could tell he’d come from the office in his pressed khakis
and light blue button-down shirt. His green eyes lit up when he saw her.
She took a deep breath and stared across the parking lot. She
smiled at him, but couldn’t find the words to say hello. His gaze swept over
her body as he opened the door with a gentlemanly smile. She couldn’t help but
be glad he seemed to appreciate what he saw. As she entered the restaurant, she
wondered if he was checking out her ass.
After they were seated, a waiter arrived, placing a bow of chips and
salsa on the table. After they gave their drink order, she finally started to
relax. Which hadn’t been easy. It had been so long since she’d actually talked
to him, other than telling him she didn’t want to. Her stomach was in knots.
“Thank you for meeting me.” Daniel grabbed a chip.
“You’re right. We do need to talk. I’m not sure how long we’ll work
together, but for the time being I guess we should be friendly.” Sandy took a
chip as well. “Besides, the past is the past. Let’s leave it there.”
“For the most part, we can.”
“This is the one and only time I’ll talk about it. So whatever it
is that’s been eating you up, get it out now. Because reminiscing over a broken
engagement isn’t my idea of a good time.”
“Mine either.”
The waiter reappeared and asked if they were ready to order.
“You
go ahead. Oh, wait.” He winked and her heart fluttered. “Let me guess, you’re
going to get a taco salad with shredded chicken. No guacamole or sour cream,
with extra cheese if possible.”
The waiter glanced at her, but she stared across at Daniel
wondering how he had remembered her order after all these years.
“Ma’am?” The waiter held his pen to his notepad.
“Uh, yeah. What he said.”
“And for you?” He turned his focus to Daniel, scribbling her order
down.
She took a deep breath, hoping her heart would calm down.
“The beef fajitas with extra onions.” He handed the menu back to
the waiter.
Sandy took a sip of her drink and returned to the chips and salsa.
She kept her focus on the red tablecloth. Looking at Daniel right now would be
hard. She needed time to wrap her head around the way he was making her feel.
All these old emotions were creeping in. Somehow she had to push them back
where they belonged.
