Excerpt from Book one "Why me?" Alex Sanders crossed his arms over his chest as he eyed the older man behind the desk. He hadnt known what to think when hed been summoned from the cozy lounge to trek across the ice and snow of the South Pole for a meeting with his boss. A lead on a job back on the mainland was the last thing hed expected. "I suggested you because of your experience. You worked with penguins at that marine theme park, and your file is full of glowing recommendations from the scientists here." The chair creaked as his boss leaned back. "You mentioned you arent interested in staying over the winter, so I thought you might be in need of gainful employment. Didnt you say youre from Texas?" Alex nodded. Hed been working at the remote research station on the coast of Antarctica for the past six months, but with the summer season drawing to a close, he planned on hopping one of the remaining February flights and getting the hell out of there. One summer at the South Pole had been enough for a homegrown Texas boy who hadnt even owned a winter coat before setting foot on the frozen continent. His only hesitation had been not knowing where to go next. "Weve enjoyed having you as part of the team. If you want to take a season off and help my colleague out, well hold a spot for you, and you can come back next spring." His boss leaned forward and scribbled something down on a piece of paper. "Heres the number. Give him a call if youre interested, but Id do it fast. He wants to get this lined up as soon as possible, and if you want to get out of here before they stop running flights, youll need to make a decision soon." Alex took the slip of paper, recognizing the Houston area code. "Thanks. Ill think about it." "Think fast. Id make the call today." He checked his watch. "Youve got about a half hour left of satellite time before youll have to wait until tomorrow." Alex shook his bosss hand as he got up to leave. Hed lucked into this gig last year when he met a fellow rock climber in Australia. The guy had taken some time off to travel before heading back to his post at a station in Antarctica. His team was short a research assistant for their study on penguin breeding, and Alex was always up for another adventure, so hed signed on for a six-month stint. Hed never spent that much time in one place and as the shortened days turned into long periods of darkness, he told himself hed get out the first chance he got. The job offer might be his lucky break. But could he really go back to the one place on earth he never wanted to see again? His sister Charlene had been begging him to come home for months. Gramps was having trouble settling into the new assisted living facility shed found for him, and with four girls at home and a husband who was deployed, shed reached her wits end trying to hold it all together. Alex wished his parents were still around to help out. But the duty had skipped an entire generation when his dad passed, and his mom didnt feel any sense of obligation to the family shed never wanted to be part of. What the hell. He didnt have anything to lose. May as well make the call and see what might be in it for him. Fifteen minutes later, he pulled the phone away from his ear and gave it a quick glance. The man on the other end was making such a ridiculous offer that for a moment Alex figured he might be getting pranked. "I assure you, Mr. Sanders, this is a legitimate proposal. Our needs require someone with a specialized skill set, and my client is willing to pay generously for the assistance." "Penguins." Alex rolled the word around on his tongue. "In Texas. For a wedding." Yeah, still sounded just as ridiculous as the first time the attorney on the other end of the phone said it out loud. "My client realizes the unique nature of his request, but were talking about his only daughter. Hes willing to do whatever it takes to make sure she gets the wedding of her dreams." Alex wondered what it would be like to afford to have his every wish granted. Even something so absolutely asinine as a winter wonderland wedding in southeast Texas. With penguins. "And all I have to do is take care of the penguins for a couple months?" Alex confirmed. "Youll be solely in charge of their welfare and training. Mr. Munyon is donating a generous amount to the Houston Marine Life Aquarium. Their current permanent penguin habitat is in need of repair. While the penguins are off display well have a subset of the herd-" "Its a waddle," Alex interrupted. "A waddle?" "A waddle or a colony. Unless theyre out on the water. Then a group of penguins is called a raft." "How interesting. As I was saying, well have most of the waddle stay on-site at the aquarium. But well separate a few and put them in your care. By the time the wedding is over, theyll all be reunited in the new penguin habitat." "I see." But Alex didnt see at all. "And where will the penguins Ill be in charge of be living during this time?" "Thats a loose end we need to tie up. Are you interested in the position? Mr. Munyon would like to move on it right away." "If I take this on, I need to be near Swynton. Thats where my family lives." "Thats fine. Mr. Munyons stipulations require an address within a one-hundred-mile radius of Houston. If you find somewhere acceptable near your hometown where they can have the wedding and house the penguins, it would be a win-win. Can you let me know your answer within the next day or two?" Alex drummed his fingers against the arm of his chair. "Let me think about it. Send over the details and Ill take a look." "Fantastic. Ill have my assistant e-mail over the particulars. Mr. Munyon is a generous man. If you do a good job, he might be able to offer you something more permanent." "Ill be in touch." Alex disconnected the call and spun his chair around to look out the window. A blanket of white covered the flat terrain. Hed been working in the cold long enough. If all went well he could give Charlene a hand with Gramps, cash in on the too-good-to-be-true offer hed just received, then move onto something more lucrative. With a little bit of time left while the satellite was still hooked up for outgoing calls, he punched in his sisters number. She answered after the first ring. "Youd better not be calling unless youre telling me what time to pick you up from the airport." "Always good to talk to you too, Sis." "Im serious. Did you see my e-mail? Gramps has really done it this time. The nursing home threatened to kick him out." Alex scoffed. "Hes been kicked out of other places at least a half dozen times before. Just deliver a batch of your killer cookies to the office and theyll find a way to forget about it." "Not this time. I even put in a call to the state director and he said Gramps has taken things too far. Hes got one more strike, and then theyll ban him for good." "What did he do?" Alex had seen a series of e-mails come through from Char last night, but after spending eight hours working outside in subzero temps, all hed wanted to do was sit in the lounge with a tumbler of whiskey. "You didnt read my e-mails, did you?" Her frustration trickled through the phone line and wrapped tight around his chest. "Im sorry. It was a long day, and-" "Theyre all long days for you. And how is that? Youve got no one but yourself to worry about down there. Meanwhile Im trying to manage two jobs, an absent husband, four kids, and a man who refuses to grow up." Alex raked a hand through his hair. "Isnt there another home nearby? Maybe somewhere we havent tried yet?" "Not that I know of. Either hes been kicked out or theyve heard about him and wont take him." She groaned. "What are we going to do?" That was the million-dollar question. Their grandfather had outlived his wife and kids. With no one left to look after him but Alex and his sister, Gramps was wreaking havoc all over the county. It wasnt fair for Char to have to deal with him on her own, not on top of everything else she had going on. "Ill see what I can do, okay?" "Thats what you always say. I know youd rather cut off an arm than come home, and I dont blame you, but . . ." His heart cracked at the pain in her voice. "I need you." "I know." He let out a sigh. "Ive got a lead on something that might put me in Texas for a while. Give me a day or two to look into it, okay?" "Ill manage for the next few days. I cant do this on my own though. Youre going to have to help. Either we hire a live-in aide and let him go back to the ranch or-" "Ill figure something out." "Thanks." Relief vibrated through that one word, fortifying Alexs resolve to figure out a way to pitch in. It was time he stepped up, and the crazy proposition from the richest man in Texas would give him the opportunity he needed. Assuming the numbers looked good, there was no way he could say no.
