THE NEXT MORNING, LOGAN wrapped up the last of his emails and logged off. He’d accomplished in two hours what would’ve taken all morning in the office. It was business as usual back in Atlanta. No surprises. No, everything that had shaken up his very routine life was right here. And she had a name. Jenna.

He poured a second cup of coffee from the in-room coffeemaker. With business out of the way, he allowed himself to think about last night. Actually, that was a joke. Jenna had been on his mind the entire time he’d been working. Usually he was good at compartmentalizing, but dammit, the woman wouldn’t stay out of his head.

He was still amazed that she’d had a thing for him back when they’d been kids. And, like a coward, he hadn’t admitted he’d had his own thing for her at the time. He, however hoped he’d rectify that mistake sometime today. Either in words—or in action.

More importantly, he knew there was definitely something between them now. He’d gone to sleep with her taste on his lips. He ached for her, longed for her with an intensity unlike anything he’d ever known before. She’d tasted like everything good in life.

Carrying his coffee cup, he crossed to the window overlooking Main Street. Headlights illuminated the white snow in the street and a team of sled dogs, locked into their traces, pulled a sled down the road the musher standing on the back traces encouraging them.

A pickup pulled to the front of the dry goods store. A bundled figure moved along the opposite sidewalk. Even without the bright pink hat and scarf, he would’ve recognized Jenna anywhere. He’d realized yesterday that a part of him still remembered the way she moved, her gait, the bounce in her step. Time hadn’t changed that and he’d never forgotten.

She paused and looked up. While it wasn’t as dark as last night, the town seemed to be wrapped in a twilight, dawn not quite emerging yet. As unlikely and as irrational as it seemed, he could’ve sworn her gaze scanned the distance and locked with his.

Desire shook him to the center of his being. It had been a long time since he’d wanted a woman the way he wanted her. Actually, the last time he’d wanted a woman this badly had been years ago…and it had still been Jenna. In the past twelve years, there hadn’t been anyone else who affected him the way she did.

She looked away and resumed walking. He found himself counting the hours until he could show up on her doorstep again. And then what? He knew all the businesses in town. Gus’s was the only restaurant. It was also the only bar. There was no movie theatre. No museum. As far as date options went, well, there weren’t many.

He heard the plane before he saw it. If everything was back on plan, his luggage should be onboard. And today he’d work at getting Merrilee onboard with the buyout. He’d known from the preliminary report that she was the key.
