Second Chance Layover When the mother of all snowstorms strands journalist Charli Tierney in the Chicago airport, her boss gives her a fluff assignment to kill time—investigate the MeetMe dot com social network for airport travelers. Imagine her surprise when her connection is also one of her brother’s old friends . . . and the boy she crushed on for years as a teen. Cal Wheaton is no less shocked that of all the fish in the sea, or lonely travelers in Terminal B, his O’Hare MeetMe connection is Charli . . . but not just because of the coincidence. The snarky little sister he fondly remembers has grown into a very desirable woman. And this time there’s no protective big brother around to keep him in line. Their reunion helps Cal escape the anguish of his sister’s recent death, if only for a few hours. Reconnected, the embers of Charli and Cal’s decadeold attraction are quickly fanned into a night of hot passion. But when a ghost from Cal’s past drives a wedge between them, will the layover lovers realize in time that blame and guilt are baggage best left behind? Happy Sexy Holidays!
