Taz & Nairna: His Date With Destiny

Taz & Nairna: His Date with Destiny

Nairna has been living at her widowed father’s home outside of Massena, New York. Now her father has remarried, and his new bride is not thrilled with having a stepdaughter living at home. Finally, Nairna has had enough of working two jobs and renting a room for $350 a week. Her brother is a Game Warden in northern Maine. Morgan invites her to move up with him and live rent free.

For two years, she enjoys living with and tending house for Morgan. But then Morgan gets serious with the love of his life, Rachel. Nairna feels uncomfortable living there with the two of them, so she gets a room at Headquarters. She has been working at Headquarters as a dispatcher for the past year, and her boss, Frank Dailey is agreeable to having her there. Some of the other dispatchers are not very reliable, so it’s great to have Nairna there to pick up the slack.

Going to a local Walmart for supplies, she almost hits a young man with her cart. Something about this man touches Nairna in a very strong passionate way. But he kisses her and leaves her standing there shaken. Back at Headquarters, Nairna goes back to her daily life until she’s roughly pulled from her bed by a very angry Game Warden. He wants to show her the empty Dispatch board and admonish her for sleeping while he is calling for help. He’s very angry until he realizes she’s the Walmart Virgin he kissed and neglected to get her name or number.

They go riding, and she cooks for him at his cabin. Both end up confused at their strong feelings and total ease with each other. She’s heartbroken when he doesn’t call, and he drops out of sight for almost a month. Nairna is invited to Morgan and Rachels wedding. Taz is the best man. Rachel wants her to be Taz’s date at this wedding. Nairna agrees.

Taz returns and wants to take her to dinner. It’s at his cabin. He’s been visiting his aunt, who told him it is love and not lust he feels for Nairna. He proposes marriage. She accepts. They spend the next couple of days getting to know each other intimately. Taz brings her back to her room at Headquarters and again makes love to her in her room. Unfortunately, they are overheard by the male dispatcher on duty who gets the wrong idea about Nairna. A brutal attack leaves Nairna and Taz drawing closer together.

Her brother Morgan and Taz surprise her at Morgan’s wedding with her own wedding. An April visit back to the Massena area introduces her to Taz’s Aunt Kateri and then forces them to attend her father’s funeral and reading of his will.

Back in Caribou, Maine, their lives are drawn to helping the Wilsons, a childless elderly couple and continuing to learn about each other. Morgan and Rachel have a massive fight, bringing Taz closer to his partner, her brother Morgan. Taz adds an addition onto his small cabin with a guest room, spare bedroom (nursery?) and master suite.

The death of Taz’s beloved aunt in late November sends them to New York to Kateri’s place again for the funeral rites. There, Nairna is introduced to Taz’s estranged parents. They are surprised when Taz’s parents want to come back to Maine to visit the newlywed couple. Taz’s father is a doctor who ends up delivering Rachel’s baby two weeks before Christmas at Taz’s cabin.

Then a man who crashes the Wardens’ Christmas Party brutally stabs Taz in the back while Taz uses his body to shield Nairna. Doc Otaktay saves Taz’s life. Taz’s fellow Wardens and a neighbor man band together to keep Taz safe. Taz’s parents want them to come to South Dakota to visit while Taz recovers. Once there, Doc Otaktay reveals his plan for Taz to return to South Dakota and live. Aware that his father is trying to control his life again, Taz and Nairna return to Maine to stay.

A massive fatal fire in the Wilsons’ home leaves Taz and Nairna devastated. Taz decides the cabin is just that a hunting cabin and not suitable as a permanent residence. Taz rebuilds a new home over the basement of the Wilsons’ home. This introduces them to some new neighbors. Some who are friendly and some who are not so friendly.

Nairna is finally with child, and the new house is completed before her contractions start. However, life has a few good and nasty surprises in store for the young couple. How about attacks by packs of wild dogs? Gun-firing reckless neighbors? Another fire next door and then surprise new neighbors?

Maybe you better get reading to find out what Destiny has in store for them . . .
