Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Alliana was a great doctor. She was young, fresh, and full of life. Her eyes were bright, her cheeks flushed, and her hair was shiny. Even her skin glowed under the sun, which was rare for someone of her dark skin tone. It was a gift and a curse.She stopped her car in front of the small boutique hotel she had chosen for her stay in this quaint town. The door was unlocked and she stepped inside, closing the door behind her. There was a small desk in the middle of the lobby with a man sitting behind it. He looked up when she entered and smiled.She smiled back and sat down in the chair opposite him. She crossed her legs and waited. The man was tall and well-built. His dark n'sexy hair was long and luscious. He had a roguish glint in his eye that made him look like he could play a good villain in a romance novel. She liked that look on men.It made them look dangerous and sexy at the same time.
"Hello, I'm looking for a room for the night," Alliana said "Of course, Miss Alliana," the man said with a southern accent so thick it made her teeth chatter. "What brings you to Peacock Island?"
"I heard it was a beautiful place to visit.I've always wanted to go there," she said, smiling. "But really, I'm here for the medical conference."
"The Medical Conference is what we call it here in Peacock Island. How quaint. I wonder what they call it in the rest of the world."
"Doctor-patient relationship.Of course, I understand," the man said as he pulled out a small book from a drawer and began to flip through the pages "Do you need a room with a view? Or do you want a room with a view of the sea?"
"I don’t care about the view so much.What I care about is the fact that I'll be able to see my boyfriend again. I haven't seen him in months."
"Boyfriend is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?" the man asked, turning the page "I mean, you're not with child, are you? Or married with children?
