Book Blurb:
When
an avalanche crushes her world, Olympic hopeful Starr Taylor loses her job, her
boyfriend, and worst of all, her confidence. She's working on getting her life
back together and moving forward, and it certainly won’t be with Spencer
Kensington, the far-too-attractive playboy lawyer she’s forced to play nice
with at their friends’ wedding. Unfortunately, Spencer's trip to Reno gets
extended unexpectedly, and Starr suddenly finds herself way too close for
comfort with the man she's quickly realizing is more than he appears.
Spencer
is a tough, no-nonsense New York businessman with a no-commitment rule in the
bedroom. But a few days of living with Starr, feeding goats and helping her
save troubled teens, has him feeling something he can't identify. In fact, the
more Spencer gets to know the surprisingly vulnerable and tempting woman, the
duller his superficial life in the city starts to seem. But everything he's
worked for is waiting for him, and as Spencer’s flight back home grows closer,
he's left wondering if the life he has is really the life he wants.

Excerpt:
He walked to the
edge of the porch and looked up at the sky, dotted with stars of different
sizes and brightness. Now this was a view he didn’t have back home, not with
all the lights. It was peaceful, relaxing. That welcoming feeling that made you
think you might fit in. Could he fit into a place like this? More than likely,
he’d be bored within a month, no, a week. Still, he couldn’t remember the last
time he’d felt so at peace. Not even in Aruba last Christmas, alone.
Starr cleared her
throat. “So how do you think it will go tomorrow for Matt? Mrs. Millard
confirmed what I thought, that it’s his first time.”
First time caught. Spencer’s thoughts drifted back to his
first time in court—and in juvie. It wasn’t a wallet he’d stolen, it was a
baseball glove. An initiation into a group of friends he thought he couldn’t
live without. “Matt’s charges will be read in front of the court, and then the
judge will set his formal court date.”
“Sounds
intimidating.”
“It seems a whole
lot scarier than it really is, especially the first time.” He’d survived his
first run-in with the law just fine and totally unrepentant. It was the second
that screwed him—and saved him.
“Sounds like
you’re talking from experience again.”
He turned around,
rested against the railing, and focused on Starr’s silhouette nestled into the
swing.
“Do you…have
experience?” Her tone was laced with curiosity. It beckoned him, made him want
to follow.
He opened his
mouth to respond and then clamped it shut, thankful the darkness hid the confounded
expression he knew he was sporting. What was it about her that made him want to
drop his guard and say things he’d never otherwise say?
Get your head back in the game, man.
“I’m experienced
in all kinds of things that would interest you.” He softened his voice,
infusing it with just enough arrogance to make good on that promise.
She stood up,
ready to walk away, no doubt. A good thing, really. She wasn’t his type.
But then she
moved toward him. Had she changed her mind, about him? Had he misjudged her?
The smell of lilacs wafted through the air as she approached, intensifying the
need to reach out and touch her, though he didn’t. Not yet. She wasn’t like any
woman he’d known before. He needed to let her drive this…this, whatever was
starting between them. Patience, he reminded himself. Lots of it.
She stopped just inches away. Close enough for him to see some hope,
or maybe it was curiosity, in her eyes. Close enough for him to feel her breath
on his shoulder. Warm, and was it ragged? Or was that his? She licked her lips,
and his eyes were mesmerized by the motion. He could barely tap down the need
to taste them, feel his lips on hers.
“What do you
want?” He needed her to be sure.
“I can have
anything?” she whispered.
His breathing hitched. “Name it.” They had two nights—two long nights.
More than enough time to experience all kinds of interesting things, if that’s
what she wanted.
