After two failed
marriages, blues singer Lacey Pine took to living a vagabond musician's
existence until she inherited her grandmother's lodge in Crystal River,
Wyoming, where Dane Richardson and a fateful snowstorm are about to show her
the best reason to settle down.
COLD COMFORT
Blues singer Lacey Pine is unlucky in love and has the
emotional battle scars to prove it. Men have become transient dalliances,
untrustworthy for more than a night or two, so when she inherits her
grandmother’s rundown lodge in the hills of Crystal River, Wyoming, Lacey
considers renovating and staying…or selling. Either way, she’s in this alone
and means to stay that way.
TURNING UP THE HEAT
Dane Richardson had it all, a successful military career and
the woman of his dreams, until the ravages of war nearly cost him his leg.
Discharged and disabled, abandoned by his girl, Dane finds himself adrift on
the sea of life—until he takes a wintry trip to Crystal River, Wyoming, where a
foolish moment of self-pity and a fierce snowstorm turn trying to keep warm
into the best thing that ever happened to him. Now he just has to convince
Lacey Pine that he’s worth risking her heart.
Excerpt:
Intrigued, and being a neighborly sort, she ambled over.
Stopping opposite him, she rested her palms on the table. “You’re new around
here, aren’t you?”
He looked up, his
dark eyes sparkling with interest. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“Just passing through,” he slurred slightly. Not blitzed, but not entirely
sober either.
“On your way to…?”
His bleary gaze swept
from her eyes to her breasts and remained there.
Assessing her? Hair
stood up on the back of her neck. The fellow obviously had had too much to
drink. Not appreciating him staring at her chest, she crossed her arms to obstruct
his view. “What brings you to our fair city?”
He narrowed his eyes
and licked his lips. “You.”
She snorted. “Ha. You
don’t even know me.” A player, she decided. A sexy one. The most dangerous
kind. Just what she didn’t need. But somehow, she couldn’t tear herself away.
“Not yet.”
