Description
The woman. Good Lord! He tried to keep his face impassive.
"You have a lovely home," he complimented as she indicated that he should take a seat on the couch.
"Thank you, Griffin. May I get you something? she offered. "I have enough cake and cookies to feed a small nation."
He chuckled, tempted to say yes just so he could watch her walk away, into the kitchen. She was not short but not exactly tall, either, and she was curvy. Very curvy. She smelled heavenly, like citrus and something floral.
"Nothing for me. Thanks," he declined.
She was wearing jeans and a wine-hued sweater that hugged her shapely waist and dipped in a shallow vee over her ample breasts. Her abundant reddish-brown mane, probably dyed but beautiful nevertheless, fell from a soft bang into swirled waves around her face. Her mouth tilted saucily to one side when she wasn't speaking. It was a searingly sexy quirk and oddly familiar. Griffin could tell he was about to be in one hell of a battle for his concentration.
IS THERE REALLY SUCH THING AS DESTINY?
North Clark has been wandering for years. Two bad marriages, the tragic death of her son, and the ensuing guardianship of her infant granddaughter, has left her smack dab in the middle of a life she hadn't planned for. A life that is far better than it used to be but still one that she's too afraid to live fully and still not the one she's dreamed of having. At fifty-one, she wonders if life has any real meaning at all or if it's just one misguided adventure after another, and she's been traveling too long in the wrong direction to turn around.
Griffin Dalton believes in destiny and what is meant for him. After all, he was reared by people who knew their places in the world. He was taught by them that it was wise to give credence to the certainty of maps and compasses. To have a healthy respect for guiding principles and predetermined courses of events, and to stay those courses in the direction of destiny. But his ex-wife's infidelity and his own struggle to commit again has him questioning the reality of fate.
And then, a single event merges North and Griffin's separate paths, and for the first time in a long time, she imagines that there is much more to life than the chaotic journey she's settled for, and he realizes that while destinations are attractive and desirable things, there is some virtue in the flexibility of detours on the way to them.
