    About this ebook

    Faced with a choice, David has to decide what matters the most. Home...or the heart.

    After completing an assignment in Alaska, he’s about to head home, but he realizes he might be leaving behind his heart—Cris, the woman he fell in love with. Now he has to make a choice. Return home to everything he knows, or take a chance on love.

    Warning: This is a short story, it is only a short story and it's a short story that contains naughty words and sex. It also contains a happy ever after.

      David resisted the urge to check at his watch. He doubted three minutes had passed since the last time he looked. He didn’t need to watch the second hand of his Rolex tick away the few precious seconds he had left before he had to board his plane.

      Come with me, Cris.
