Can
the hottest man around melt this ice queen’s heart?
When
her husband publicly cheats on her, Leigh Dobbs trades her
humiliating reputation as an ice queen and a hometown that shuns her
for the unknown of rural North Carolina. Taking over a small bed and
breakfast, Leigh sets out to restore it, her dignity and her life.
Excited at the prospect of adding more rooms and a full-service
restaurant, Leigh’s big plans encounter the brick wall that is
Caleb Rausch. Sparks fly even as Caleb votes no on the planning
commission, crushing Leigh’s dreams.
Handsome
powerhouse Caleb Rausch is a man on a mission, expanding his huge
corporation without encroaching on the small town where it resides.
His commitment to his products, employees and historic preservation
are unwavering. What’s lacking is his commitment to one woman.
Caleb is the most eligible bachelor in three states, dating
celebrities and models, but never settling down. Until now.
Even
as Caleb forces Leigh’s expansion plans on hold, the couple moves
full-steam-ahead on their relationship, unable to resist the mutual
attraction. So why, after a steamy night together, does Caleb
disappear for weeks? Has Leigh put her heart out there again, just to
be played?
Will
the magic of a moonlit night be enough to kindle their love or will
Caleb’s constant disappearing act prevent him from melting this ice
queen’s heart?

Excerpt
Exhausted
and anxious to return home, Leigh wasn’t paying attention as she
stepped out the door of the small law office at the end of the row of
storefronts. Leigh went down hard on the cement, her skirt flying up,
her brochures flying. A shook-up Leigh assessed the damage and caught
her breath. Her dignity was beyond repair.
Leigh
was brushing the dirt from her palms, scraped from trying to break
her fall when a shadow blocked the sun, and a large, dirty hand,
attached to a long, strong arm reached down to assist her. Leigh’s
gaze followed the flannel covered forearm up over a muscled bicep and
continued until her scrutiny was arrested by a pair of coffee-colored
eyes surrounded by the deep laugh lines of an outdoorsman. He was
staring vast expanse of creamy thigh and more than a hint of her
magenta panties. His expression told Leigh that he liked what he saw.
Leigh
clumsily scrambled to lower her dress, gather the brochures
fluttering in the breeze, and take the proffered hand all at once.
Several pamphlets escaped down the sidewalk, but she quickly forgot
them as she was lifted like a feather against her mountain’s chest
and too swiftly placed gently on her feet. She winced when the
blisters made contact with the hard surface beneath them and the
lumberjack buried behind a grizzly bear beard reacted.
“Injured,
little lady?” he asked with concern. “Let me help you get you to
urgent care.
"That
won't be necessary," Leigh responded, smoothing her dress to
cover her embarrassment and interest.
"Then
at least let me help you to your destination.”
“I
was just heading to my car, down the ways,” Leigh tried to gesture
with the arm the man still held. “But, I’m fine. Really. I can
take it from here.”
“Fine,
indeed,” Grizzly Adams replied in a sarcastic, deep baritone.
He
was tall, covered in a subtle sheen of dirt and sweat, but Leigh
quickly realized the shirt under her fingertips was the finest wool
and his boots, caked in an inch of dried mud, were Scarpa Phantom
8000's. He was a very wealthy Grizzly Adams, and a dedicated hiker
too. Those boots were featured in the mountaineering store up the
road for over $1000, way too rich for Leigh’s blood.
He
stood still, his smile twitching as caught Leigh checking him out.
Then, without warning, he swept her into his arms, carefully adjusted
her dress to modestly cover her behind while managing to slide his
hand all along them. The man was a pro. Leigh couldn't fault his
effort, even as she realized he was copping a feel. Carrying her
easily, he began taking long strides in the direction she had
pointed.
“This
is completely unnecessary,” Leigh repeated more than once,
interspersed with “put me down, please” and “Really I can
walk.” He ignored them all, speaking right over her repeated and
flustered objections.
“You
took a nasty fall there. People are always missing that last step."
His face was too close and too handsome. He smelled of the outdoors -
pine, sweat and sunshine.
It
was intoxicating.
“Are
you sure you wouldn’t prefer I took you over to the doc’s office
or the urgent care?”
“Just
to my car, thanks,” Leigh requested, done trying to argue with the
hard-muscled man. Who was she kidding? It felt incredible to rest
against his broad chest, his arms holding her securely and his minty
breath blowing on her face. He may have been filthy, a bearded
mountain man who was certainly not her type, but he was sexy as hell.
Leigh wished her car was miles away. ,
“Will
you be ok to drive, Miss…”
“Leigh.”
“Miss
Leigh,” he repeated, caressing her name. “Are you sure you’ll
be alright to drive?”
Leigh
bobbed her head in the affirmative. She loved resting her head
against the power of this man’s chest, secure in his firm grip.
Leigh looked up at him from under her eyelashes, admiring what she
saw. She could tell that under the caked on mud and scruff, he was
handsome, with a cocky smile and those laughing eyes. She wished she
could see more.
“This
is my car,” she finally motioned. “Thank you, Mr…”
“You’re
certain you can drive?” he asked in his slow, smooth drawl,
ignoring her question.
“I’m
not going far,” Leigh reassured him. “I’ll be fine.”
The
mountain man placed Leigh on her feet, holding her by the waist as if
waiting for reassurance that she was solidly standing. Leigh looked
down as if to assure herself both feet were there and with a deep
breath made eye contact. The man was a head taller, broad and
powerful, and staring at her as if he wanted to devour her. A hot
flush filled Leigh's cheeks, and she extended a hand to shake his.
“Well,
thank you again. You certainly turned out to be my knight in shining
armor today,” she jested.
“Well,
Miss Leigh, then I guess I get my knight’s favor,” the man
responded with a devilish grin. Leigh was still registering his
warning when he lowered his head to hers and placed his warm lips
upon her cooler ones.
