The Fire Chief's Surprise: Lake Chelan, #12

By Shirley Penick

Greg Jones has had a horrible fall. His wife of only two years has been in Seattle nearly non-stop, while he's been alone in Chedwick. A couple of quick trips between them is all he's seen her. Not what he signed up for, he's acted like an ass pouting about her being gone. Time to man up and make some changes.

 

Sandy has been working non-stop preparing for the newest release of her video game. She's exhausted and on the East coast in a media tour promoting it. She's planning a tiny rendezvous with her husband in Pittsburg after he attends a fire convention. She can't wait, she's missed the big lug.

 

And she has something to tell him, something that might change everything.

I can’t believe you managed to get my sister to agree to meet you there for two days after the conference. It doesn’t seem like the Steel City would be her jam. How did she manage to get the time away from her promo tour?

Greg shook his head. I have no idea, but I’m damn glad that she finagled it. Having my wife gone for a fricken month would have sucked, big time.
