The Doctor's Runaway Fiancée

The Doctor's Runaway Fiancée
Cindy Kirk

A bolting bride!Sylvie Thorne doesn't believe in happily-ever-after. Tormented by a tumultuous childhood, the struggling baker's certain she did the right thing running from her perfect-as-a-prince Boston blueblood fiance, leaving not a glass slipper but a brief text behind. She just never expected him to follow her.Dr. Andrew O'Shea wants closure. To get it, he'll implement a plan. Three weeks with Sylvie in his Jackson Hole rental. Lots of togetherness, a little dialogue–and no sex. Twenty-one days to prove they're from two different worlds. Instead, one kiss shows him what they have in common–blazing chemistry that never died. Now Andrew's in trouble. Instead of laying the past to rest, he's thinking of the future–with his former fiancee.

All she had to do was give him back the ring.

Then he’d say goodbye and leave. Everyone had known they were wrong for each other. Everyone but Andrew. Now it seemed he finally figured it out. “It appears we’re ready to close the door on the past.”

“It might feel that way to you, Sylvie. The problem is, I still want you. I believe more drastic measures are needed.” He stepped closer.

Her heart thudded. “What kind of measures do you have in mind?”

“Immersion therapy,” he said. “I will immerse myself in your life. I obviously didn’t know you before. What better way to get you out of my system than to become acquainted with the real you?”

“How long will that take? A couple of days—”

“I’m here for three weeks.”

Given their history, that seemed little enough to ask. So why did her pulse quicken at the thought? “I think it’s best if we keep physical intimacy to a minimum.” She crossed the room to put space between them, but he followed her.

“Come on,” he said, taking her hand. “I’ll help you pack.”

“Where am I going?”

He gave her a sexy smile. “You’re moving in with me.”

Sylvie Thorne gazed into the beauty-shop mirror and forced herself to breathe. Seven seconds in, then out for eleven. Almost immediately, the panic ebbed.

Two hours earlier she’d given Cassidy Duggan, owner of the Clippety Do Dah Salon, free rein to cut and color her hair. While Cassidy was as nontraditional with hair as Sylvie was in cake designs, there was no better stylist in Jackson Hole.
