“Here we are, ma’am. The best damn restaurant in Hotlanta.”
Reese didn’t respond, staring dazedly out the window of the
Uber she’d taken into Midtown Atlanta that evening. She couldn’t
believe she’d already reached her destination. She’d meant to take in the
sights and sounds of the bustling metropolis during the ride into town.
Instead she’d zoned out, succumbing to painful memories of the day her
patient died in childbirth.

Deidra Thomas’s untimely death had left her husband and family reeling
with shock and grief. Although Reese had tried her damnedest to distance
herself emotionally from the tragedy, every time she closed her eyes at
night, she saw Ian Thomas’s ravaged face, heard his anguished wails of
denial. Every time she delivered a new baby, she was gripped by a terrible
fear that something would go wrong. She was losing sleep, becoming
withdrawn and finding it difficult to concentrate at work, which was not
only unfair to her patients, but dangerous as well.
And then one day out of the blue, she’d received a phone call from her
longtime friend Layla Chase. An award-winning photojournalist for
National Geographic, Layla had mentioned that she was looking for
someone to housesit for her while she was on assignment in Somalia for
two months. Almost immediately, Reese knew this was the lifeline she’d so
desperately needed, an opportunity to take a sabbatical before she had a
nervous breakdown. She’d made the arrangements with Layla, secured a
leave of absence from the hospital, then packed her bags and headed to
Atlanta.
She’d made a pact with herself not to discuss or even think about work
for the next two months. Yet there she was, torturing herself with thoughts
of Deidra Thomas and the motherless children she’d left behind.
“Ma’am? Are you okay?”
Reese glanced around, embarrassed to realize that the driver was staring
at her, patiently waiting for her to get out so he could be on his way.
She mustered a smile. “Sorry. Got distracted by the scenery.”
“You wouldn’t be the first.” He flashed a congenial grin. “Enjoy your
dinner. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.”
“So I’ve heard. Thanks for the ride.” Clutching her snakeskin handbag,
Reese climbed out of the car.
As she joined the flow of patrons heading into the brick-front restaurant,
she couldn’t help feeling an unfamiliar thrill of excitement.
For the past three years she’d dreamed of visiting Wolf’s Soul, a worldrenowned restaurant made famous by owner and executive chef Michael
Wolf. Reese, whose favorite hobby was cooking, had been a huge fan of the
hunky celebrity chef ever since he burst onto the national scene with his
cable television show Howlin’ Good. Reese owned all four of his bestselling
cookbooks, religiously DVR’d his program and had prepared many of his
award-winning recipes for her family and friends, who often teased her
about having a crush on the popular chef.
Not that anyone in their right
mind could blame her. With his dark good looks and smoldering charisma,
Michael Wolf had stolen the hearts of women everywhere, solidifying his
status as a bona fide sex symbol.
