threw me in a
snowdrift. I thought that was my penalty,” she said breathlessly as
she leaned in to inhale pine and ice.
“Nah, you cross
checked, I responded. But for the penalty, I’ve got something else
in mind.”
“Like what?”
He kissed her.
“Is that the penalty
you get from all the guys who cross check you?”
“Funny. But that’s not
the penalty.”
“Then what is?”
He kissed her again.
“This.”
A movement made Candy
look to the side and her breath caught at the flash of fire and
ice. Nolan took her hand to slide the oval cut solitaire into
place, then raised it to his lips and warmed her with his
breath.
“That’s not a penalty,
Ducayne.” The words were soft. Wondering.
“Think about it for a
minute, Levine .”
Candy processed that
for a moment, the way he’d said her surname. Her breath rushed out
in a gasp when she realised what he meant.
Candy
Ducayne .
She kissed him there
in the snow, on the banks of their pond, and said yes anyway.

and Fiona McNaren hate each other.
Or so they
say.
But what’s
between them isn’t so simple. Her mother married his father when
they were teenagers, making them step-siblings. That didn’t go down
well. They’re all grow up now, but the cold war lives on.
They both live
and work at Clearwater Ranch. When Nate tells Fiona not to ride
Diablo, a dangerous bronco, she defies him. He’s furious at her
recklessness, but it’s when she gets hurt that he reaches breaking
point.
Then
everything changes.

Reid is a grizzly bear shifter. He’s miles of ripped, protective
male who knows what he wants. That would be Kelly McKenna, the
luscious redhead with curves that won’t quit, who waits tables at
his bar.
They ’ve
craved each other since day one, and when Bear rescues Kelly from a
hyena pack, months worth of sexual tension explodes. The encounter
is wild and untamed. The connection so visceral, they can’t
stop.
But Kelly ’s determined to guard her heart, convinced that if she
were Bear’s mate, he’d have claimed her already. Bear’s not one for
negotiating. No need, when you’re the most dangerous man in town.
But Kelly re-writes all his rules and soon enough, there’s nothing
he wouldn’t do for her. Now he’s going to prove it…
Excerpt…
Rosewood, Tennessee
Kelly McKenna kept an
eye on the rowdy hyena pack downing shots and shooting pool in the
back room. It was another crowded Friday night at Bear’s Bar, which
used to be called O’Malley’s until six months ago. That was when
shifter Bear Reid had blown into town and bought the place.
O’Malley’s had been
seedy. Populated almost exclusively by the kind of handsy riffraff
currently playing eight ball. She’d hated waitressing there, but
the tips were good and working nights left her days free to study.
Never feeling safe and carrying pepper spray in her pocket had been
the trade-off.
That changed when Bear
came to town.
He’d cleared out the
scummy clientele, renovated the interior and was slowly turning it
into Rosewood’s preferred Friday night watering hole.
Kelly stopped at a
table where a gorgeous platinum blonde had just knocked back a
Johnny on the Rocks. “You want another, hot stuff?” she asked.
“Well, that depends,”
the blonde drawled.
“On what?”
“On whether I can get that to go.”
Kelly glanced over her
shoulder. Bear’s
snowdrift. I thought that was my penalty,” she said breathlessly as
she leaned in to inhale pine and ice.
“Nah, you cross
checked, I responded. But for the penalty, I’ve got something else
