AUTHOR OF:
Lindsey Hunter never imagined she’d be returning to her Cape Cod
home pregnant and divorced, but she’s determined to build a new life for her
and her unborn baby. When car trouble leaves her stranded on the side of the
road, ex-Marine Damien Trent rides to the rescue on his motorbike. Once upon a
time, they’d been friends and briefly, they'd been something more...until he
enlisted and left her behind. As Lindsey and Damien reconnect, the attraction
is still as strong as ever. But Lindsey’s knows Damien's not the staying
kind.
Damien would rather do anything than come home to deal with his father’s
estate. After years of abuse, he was more than ready to leave town the moment
he graduated. With Lindsey back in his life, everything is complicated. He’s
used to being a lone wolf - until Lindsey and her newborn baby give him a
glimpse of the kind of family and future he’s always dreamed of. Can he be
brave enough to reach out and grab it?
When quiet, bookish Izzy Simon
accepts a two-week assignment as an assistant for an author of children’s
books, it seems like the perfect way for her to make some much-needed extra
money, but the grumpy author claims he doesn’t want or need her services. He
might be as handsome as a storybook prince, but his prickly personality and
resistance to all things Christmas are sure to make for a chilly holiday
season.
Derek Croft never agreed to the
cheery temp his staff arranges for him while they’re on vacation. Izzy is his
polar opposite, but Derek soon realizes she could be the perfect solution to
his interfering family…if he can get her to agree to pretend to be his live-in
girlfriend. Before long Izzy’s sweet disposition and unflappable optimism has
him decorating a tree and looking forward to late night hot cocoa, but he’s all
too aware their time together can’t last.
Forgetting his worries for the first time in
years, he fell into the game, quickly piling up balls
of snow and firing them at will. They threw
and dodged and ducked until they were both soaked and gasping for air. Her laugh
of pure joy rang in his ears, and something stirred inside his chest. She ran
for cover at the edge of the forest, and he followed, still sending a hail of
snowballs flying in her direction. One connected with the side of her face and caught
her off guard, sending her into the snow. He jogged over to see if she was all
right and extended his hand to her.
Instead of getting up, she kicked out his legs
and pulled him down with her. His shock gave her the opportunity to push to her
knees and gain the upper hand. Izzy’s hair fell in a curtain around her face,
as she smiled down at him.
“I think we have a
victor.” She spoke happily, her cheeks and lips rosy from the cold.
“I wouldn’t be so sure.”
His voice was hoarse and edged with danger. In one quick maneuver, he pinned
her to the ground. Wet slush seeped through his pant legs, and his hands were
buried in the snow above her head. Suddenly, the world around them melted away,
and all he could focus
on was the rise and fall of her chest beneath
him. She stared into his eyes, unblinking. Izzy looked so innocent, so
vulnerable. His nerve endings stirred and tingled. His hands slipped slightly
in the snow, and the flutter of her heart drummed against his chest. The scent
of her hair,
lavender and vanilla, made his mouth go dry.
Their lips were just inches from one another. He only had to angle his head to
taste them.
