      Below is an excerpt from ANGEL’S PEAK, the next book in the Virgin River series. Available February 2010.

      Sean Riordan hadn’t seen his ex-girlfriend, Franci, in four years. The second she walked into the little bar, he knew with stunning clarity that he’d been a fool to let her go. He wasn’t about to be that stupid again. So he followed her.

      He had just about caught up to her as she was unlocking the door of a small, silver sedan. “Franci?” he called out.

      She jumped, turned and stared at him, wide-eyed.

      “It is you,” he said.

      She pulled her coat tighter around her. “Sean?”

      “Yeah,” he said, laughing. “I can’t believe I’m running into you here, of all places. You look great. How long have you been here? In Arcata?”

      “I didn’t blow it off, Franci,” he said. “I looked for you and couldn’t find you anywhere. You got out of the air force and disappeared on me. That’s why I want to talk.”

      “Well, I don’t,” she said. “I think you’ve probably said enough on that subject.”

      “Franci, what the hell?” he asked, confused and a little angry by her immediate rebuff. “Can’t we have a conversation? We were together for two years! It was good, me and you. We never had anyone else, either one of us and—”

      “And you said it wasn’t going any further,” she said, stiffening her back. “In fact, that was one of the nicer things you said. I’m glad you’re doing fine, you look just the same, happy as can be. Don’t push this. We
