MARY LYNN BAXTER has written over forty books. She is now retired, and instead of creating romance and mystery in her head, she reads others who do. Her love of reading has never diminished, nor has her love for working out at the gym. Her latest passion, however, is beading flatware in her home. While her life away from the computer is certainly different, it is nonetheless fulfilling.
Things are really heating up at Vanderbilt Memorial, despite the steady cold rain outside. Amanda and Noah canât seem to keep their hands off each other. Thatâs not going to go over well with Amandaâs boyfriend, Gordon, especially after he just proposed! Amanda hasnât accepted, but she hasnât said no, either. She has a choice to make. Gordon, the steady loving one, or Noah, her true desire who might up and leave again, breaking her heart once again. Amanda isnât ready to forgive Noah just yetâ¦and Noah isnât ready to âfess up to where heâs been after walking out on her all those months ago. But their problems arenât the only ones. Karenâs daughter is still trapped in the cave, due to the mudslide. Noahâs sister called but the static was so bad that he still has no idea if Randi is just a runaway bride or if sheâs in true danger. The storm is still raging and only time will tell whose lives will be impacted nextâ¦.
Noah Howellâs irritability was high.
The doctor rubbed his hand across his rough cheek and chin, uncomfortable with the itch caused by a long overdue shave. Maybe he ought to take this spare minute allotted him by fate and take care of that problem.
However, first things first: his mother. He needed to talk to Melissa, to let her know he had heard his sister Randiâs voice and that after running away from her own wedding, she was at least alive. He also needed to check on Melissa herself, the feeling of misplaced loyalty beginning to rear its ugly head.
Dammit, he was concerned for his familyâs welfare, though he had to admit actions spoke louder than words. Hopefully, Melissa had remained at the inn and not tried to return home in this weather. Grand Springs was having torrential rains, with nonstop thunder and lighting. The power was still out across most of the city and the hospital ER has been crazy. Knowing his mother, she could jump either way. She was one stubborn woman, especially when she thought it would give her leverage over him.
Noah punched out the numbers to Squaw Creek Lodge, where Randiâs wedding was to take place, but the static was so severe that even if he got through, he wouldnât hear a damn thing.
He slammed his smart phone down, feeling his irritation climb even higher. He had to get a grip on himself or he was bound to make a mistake in surgery, something he couldnât afford, not at any cost.
Peering down at his hands and seeing that they were shaking did little to improve his disposition. If someone else saw him, doctor or nurse, they would think he was hitting the booze. He was drunk, all right, only not from booze.
