Оглавление“I was never serious about any woman, and I never will be as long as I fly airplanes.”
Jen gasped. Dan had made himself perfectly clear. He would never have a serious relationship with a woman as long as he flew. That meant forever, as far as she could see. “You can’t mean that.”
“I won’t risk making a woman a widow.”
Now he was making her angry. “Don’t you think she ought to have a say in that?”
“No.” The man didn’t even have the grace to hesitate. “A relationship can’t work unless both partners work together. Until I stop flying, that can’t happen.”

“Oh?”
That simple question infuriated her. “We are not here because both Jack and Darcy fly airplanes. This could happen to anyone. At any time.” That reality finally sank in. “No one can remove all risk from life.”
“Perhaps, but I can minimize it. I won’t make a woman suffer from losing her husband.”
“That sounds to me like you’re afraid of losing someone you love.”
His expression darkened, all sense of calm gone.
