The Legacy (2006)
“He’d called the airline, arranged a flight to Nova Scotia, talked to Joe, his editor, and promised the pictures by the end of the week. Everything was set for him to leave Indigo.
To resume his life.
He crossed the room, exiting out the French doors and onto the veranda. The sun was just coming up over the bayou, turning the foliage from deep emerald to a bright, lively green. The golden light seemed to wash over the land, making it sparkle, as if it were a magic place.

He’d slip back into work mode and everything would go back to exactly the way it had been. He’d be free again, which was exactly how he liked it. Even if a couple of nagging doubts persisted. Thoughts centered on a certain feisty brunette who expected more out of him than he ever had himself.

A knock sounded at his door, tentative at first, then firmer.MoreLess
