Skylar Conrad, a translator, is at the Yellowstone airport waiting for Alex, her engineer boyfriend to deboard his flight from Brazil. Just as she realizes he’s a no-show, she spots the last deboarding passenger, a man holding a sign with her name on it.
Chris “Hawke” Hawkins has bad news for Skylar, a woman he has never even met. Her boyfriend is marrying someone else. A coworker of Alex, Hawke can’t stand the idea of Skylar waiting for a man who doesn’t deserve her. His solution? Tell Skylar the truth himself since he’s already flying home to spend Christmas with his foster parents. Cody is just a little side trip and well worth it if he can do the right thing.
In a way, Skylar isn’t surprised that Alex hasn’t come. He’d stopped all communication back in October until he sent her flight details for their meet-up. What does surprise her is the fact that there are still men as honorable as Hawke on the planet.
It turns out Skylar and Hawke are both from Jackson. As payback for his trouble, Skylar offers him a ride home, a trip of four hours. But outside the airport, snow is accumulating at a crazy rate. An icy weather front that was supposed to be moving through the state has stalled. Skylar is so comfortable with Hawke that she blurts a Plan B: use the reservation she made for herself and Alex at a hotel near the airport. It’s for a double room, which is perfect.
Or not. Skylar has known Hawke less than an hour and, based on her experience with Alex, she’s no judge of character. Luckily there’s a psychic ability that helps with that…if she only knew she had it. Can the Rutledge Institute, a school for psychics in Jackson, help her with that?

Skylar Conrad and her mother share the same birthday and each year they both make up a pay it back list to help people like they were helped when a hurricane destroyed their home. This year her list is made and she is awaiting the arrival of her boyfriend of four years Alex Perez who is presently in Brazil but at the airport it is not Alex who arrives but Chris Hawkins with heartbreaking news. Alex the man she believed she would marry and who she loved is now engaged and getting married to a woman he met in Brazil.
Chris who likes to be called Hawkes is not a fan of Alex and he had read all the e-mails Skylar had written and how she was going to be at the airport to meet him and decided on his own to meet her and break the bad news. That meeting would change everything in Skylar’s life and make her realize that she loved a man or thought she loved him because it was easier than breaking up after four years and starting over.
Skylar is a translator and when she is hired to bring a woman to the Rutledge Institute for testing who is deaf and needs someone to sign for her, she once again finds out something that will affect her life. If you are familiar with this series than you know all about the Institute and the World Security League that works with psychics.
As Skylar checks off the items, she finished on her list she still had the find love and if she has with Hawkes is not for me to say. A sweet romance filled with amazing character and another addition to a wonderful series.
