Kiwi Nathaniel Dunn is in a fighting mood, but how does a man fight Wellington’s famous fog? In the last year, Nate’s lost his longtime lover to boredom and his ten-year job to the economy. Now he’s found a golden opportunity for employment where he can even use his artistic talent, but to get the job, he has to get to Christchurch today. Heavy fog means no flight, and the ticket agent is ignoring him to fawn over a beautiful but annoying, overly polite American man.<br><br>Rusty Beaumont can deal with a canceled flight, but the pushy Kiwi at the ticket counter is making it difficult for him to stay cool. The guy rubs him all the wrong ways despite his sexy working-man look, which Rusty notices even though he’s not looking for a man to replace the fiancé who died two years ago. Yet when they’re forced to share a table at the crowded airport café, Nate reveals the kind heart behind his grumpy fa?ade. An earthquake, sex in the bush, and visits from Nate’s belligerent ex turn a day of sightseeing into a slippery slope that just might land them in love.

For his own part, now that he’d had time to adjust, he loved both Christchurch and his job. The move had brought with it all the opportunities he’d hoped for and more. He was finally following his dreams.


And his best and biggest dream of all was due to walk off the plane and into his arms. His heart soared when he remembered they’d left his stay open-ended. Rusty’s project job had ended, and he’d said there was nothing that would be calling him back to the US real soon.


Ever since Nate had heard that, he’d been thinking what if?


What if we could have morethan just a few weeks or a month?


What if we were meant to have “always”?
