A Distant Call — Patricia Dunaway

"You're beautiful... I may as well tell you now, I don't want a long engagement." He placed a hand on either side of Rachel's face as she whispered, "Neither do I, Johnny, neither do I." But beautiful Dr. Rachel McGeary was unaware of the plans he had for their future together. As a top-notch geologist, Johnny Allen had been offered a lucrative job in Alaska, but Alaska was thousands of miles from Texas -- and Rachel's medical practice. If she married Johnny now, it meant giving up her commitment to her job and, to herself. If she didn't, it meant losing the only man she had ever really loved.
