“I might be able to help you.”

The subtly accented baritone, as deep and sensual as the purr of a tiger, vibrated along Tessa’s nerves.

The man standing behind her was strikingly tall with dark hair and the coldest slate-colored eyes she’d ever seen. His chiseled features—a square jaw, straight nose and high Slavic cheekbones—were too strong to be called handsome, but his very presence exuded power and masculinity.

He was a stranger—surely she’d remember if she’d ever met such a man. But something about him seemed familiar.

Tessa found her voice. “I beg your pardon,” she said. “Did you just offer to help me?”

“I couldn’t help overhearing,” he said. “I’ll be taking off for Anchorage in a few minutes. There’s plenty of room in the plane. You’re welcome to come along.”

There had to be a catch. She would never get into a car with a strange man. Would getting into a plane, especially with her precious babies, be any different?

“My plane’s a private craft.” He spoke as if sensing her hesitation. “But I happen to be a co-owner of this charter company. They can vouch for me.” He spoke like a man accustomed to getting his own way.

How could she refuse, when this might be her only chance to get to Anchorage with the twins?

“Yes,” Tessa said, taking the plunge. “I’d be happy to accept your very kind offer.”
