Baked Alaska

By Maxine Mansfield

Being the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter could be somewhat frustrating for Destiny Diane Dickson. Especially since her "special ability" has yet to make itself known. Well, at least she has her diner and somehow always knows just what culinary delight certain customers need.

Carlee Logan is having a day from hell. Instead of a promotion, she's being transferred to the Siberia of job assignments in Alaska because of a lecherous co-worker and his jealous wife's connections. As if on cue, the pushy waitress at Destiny's Diner insists Baked Alaska is just what she needs. Coincidence? Maybe not.

With her first bite, the oddest thing happens. Oh yes, the oddest and most wonderful thing. She's transported to a snow-covered fantasy with a man who claims they're engaged. She's not sure if she's gone off the deep end, but she's more than ready for another taste of sexual bliss.

Dedication

To all of us who haven’t yet perfected our very own special abilities just quite yet.

Destiny’s Diner

I thought this day would never come, and I am so excited. At just thirty-one years, two months, and twelve days, I, Destiny Diane Dickson, am finally fulfilling my dream of opening my very own diner.

Not that becoming an entrepreneur was ever my family’s choice of a profession for me, for it wasn’t. But in my book, being a restaurateur is the grandest, loftiest goal one could ever aspire to. I mean, really, what’s better than feeding people and seeing them satisfied?

And it hadn’t been a walk in the park to get to this day, either, I’ll have you know. Thank God for my wonderful husband, Mike, who fed and cared for our lovely little daughters while
