Chapter one
Meg Cummings, 28 years old, originally from Ludlow, Kansas had reached her final destination on her three months European tour and cruise. The last two weeks she had been cruising the Mediterranean and now she had come to Mallorca. She had to find out about this island that was so special to her old penpal who she was meeting up within a few days.
Meg had just finished unpacking and now got dressed in her jogging outfit. No matter where she was she never missed her morning jogs, some of the last ones had been around the deck of the ship as they had been out on the water, but when they had been in port she’d had new sights every day. Today she planned on running the beach of Alcudia, and if she didn’t hurry she’d miss the peace and quiet before all tourists came to spend their day at the beach. She wasn’t alone on the beach, there were a few more runners this morning. She stopped to stretch out and then sat down in the sand and started thinking of what was waiting for her at home… or what was to be her home. She and her sister had just before she left signed the contract of an old rundown hotel in a small Californian town called Sunset Beach. Meg was the economic of the two and Sarah was an architect so she was already in place overlooking the rebuilding and decorating. This was going to be a top modern facility when they were finished; spa, casino, room to host plays and concerts along with of course hotel rooms and restaurants. As soon as Meg returned they were going to start interviewing and hiring their staff.
She lifted her head and gazed towards the harbor. She saw a man stretching out after his run and as he too lifted his head their eyes met. Meg got up and went back to her hotel.
The next few days just drifted by in the same way with the minor change that instead of just a gaze it was now a friendly smile and today they had even said helloe when they met on their morning run. Meg and the mysterious man.

Now she was irritated, she had tried to reach her sister in what should be all her morning. Sarah just longed to get to bed, but had to share this news with her sister.
“Finally” she said as Meg answered her cellphone “Where have you been?” “Good morning to you too” Meg responded “What makes me this pleasure?” “Pleasure? Don’t know since I’ve tried to reach you for hours” Sarah said and smiled. “Hey, I heard that” Meg said as she knew her sister was smiling “So what’s up really? Anything wrong?” “Not at all, in fact all’s great. Rebuilding is going as planned and I’ve gotten in contact with a security company. They’re new here just as us, but references was impeccable” Sarah beamed and continued “And the owner is just sooo handsome” Meg laughed “You’re incurable Sarah Cummings. So what’s this company’s name?” She wanted to do a background check of her own, mostly financial. “Twin Cqur” Sarah answered and spelled it for her. “And your contact person?” Meg asked and Sarah answered, maybe a bit too quickly “Derek… Derek Evans” “Oh, something else happening back there is it?” Meg teased her sister. Just being a year apart the sisters had always been close. “Well cince you’re not calling home about any vacation romances I have to have my own” Sarah said. “Sarah…” Meg began “Yeah, yeah I know… but it’s been two years since you found out about Tim and Connie and that was a blessing for you if I can say so again” she yawned “Meg, I really need to get to bed. Let me know if you find anything that says we shouldn’t hire this company. If not I’m ready to sign the contract and get the security going at once” “I will Sarah” Meg said “Have a good night and I’ll see you in 10 days time” the sisters hang up.
“Looks like my sister will make a background check of her own on your company” Sarah smiled “Maybe I should make another one myself” she approached her bed “Oh Sarah, you can check me out anytime” Derek grinned back at her and reached for her hand “Now.. come to bed, we’ve missed out on valuable time as it is already” he pulled her down on her back and kissed her thoroughly.
