In the wee hours of the morning, Ramsay drove maybe a little too fast in the pouring rain. He’d promised John he’d be back in time for the boat. But it had also been important to deposit the check in the night slot on his way back to Gandiegow. For the past four days, after fishing, he’d driven to Spalding Farm to help with the new barn stalls. Each night he’d slept for a few hours at Colin’s and then hurried back to the fishing boat once more.

He was damned happy to have the work. It wasn’t going to give him the money he needed to buy ole man Martin’s boat in time, but it was always good to build up his bank account. More importantly, it kept him away from Kit—even if it hadn’t kept him from thinking about her in his bed. He’d like to peel the clothes off the sprite slowly and get to what lay beneath. He wouldn’t stop there. He’d like to kiss her senseless and make her moan. He’d like to . . .

He swerved, barely making the curve. He better keep his blasted thoughts on the road instead of how he’d like to make love to Kit. He wondered if she’d missed him. He hoped so. It would be payback for driving him crazy. There was nothing he could do about the guilty feeling he had for abandoning her in Gandiegow without even telling her where he was going. He was as spineless as a jellyfish.

He knew what day it was—the day Deydie had said the retreat should start. He wondered if her clients had made it in from the States. Or if she was ready for the bachelors to come to Gandiegow. Actually, he felt like he’d missed out on a lot. But that was the price he had to pay to keep his distance from her.

Kit was a beautiful, interesting woman, but he didn’t need someone like her in his life. He had plans for himself. And getting tangled up with a woman would only hold him back.

Ramsay made it to the boat just as Ross was untying the line. “Was that the last night of it?”

Ramsay stepped aboard. “Aye.” Unfortunately. It would be his last chance in a while to dig up an odd job for the season.

John nodded at him as he touched his hand to the cross. Over the last four days, he’d made a point not to ask after Kit. He didn’t want his brothers to get the wrong idea. So instead, Ramsay kept his thoughts to himself.

They had a short day of it on the boat. Ross was in a hurry to get to the North Sea Valve Company, and John had made plans to take Maggie to Inverness for their anniversary.

The house was empty when they arrived home. John and Ross took turns in the bathroom, insisting they clean up first. After working two jobs with little sleep, Ramsay could barely keep his eyes open until it was his turn.
