BLURB:
Kate Logan needs a safe haven, a place to start
over after her modeling career disintegrates in scandal. But her hometown of
Aspen Lake isn’t the sanctuary she hoped. Her vow of a low-key life is
disrupted by a break-in and other strange happenings at her boutique. As the
chair of Aspen Lake’s Gothic Revival Festival, she’s also drawn the ire of a
religious fanatic. Kate is up to her stilettos in drama and intrigue including
one sexy carpenter who’s determined to get in her way.
New
to town, Seth Stone is seeking inspiration and solitude to concentrate on his
art. Short on funds, he agrees to take on a second job restoring the damage to
Kate’s Closet. Trouble erupts along with the desire to get to know Kate better.
When he’s used as a pawn in a smear campaign against his gorgeous boss Seth
fights back. But now the whole town is watching. Including the man determined
to further his own agenda. Time is running out with nowhere to hide.

EXCERPT
Seth shook his head. “I moved
here with the intention of concentrating on my art. I can’t afford to get
involved with anyone right now. No matter how beautiful or appealing. You don’t
seem like the sex and forget it type. And that’s all I have in me right now.”
Wasn’t that the story of her
life? Men wanting to have sex with her but not interested in getting to know
the real her? All they saw was the face.
She knew how to deal with men
like that. She froze them out. “Well, thank you for being honest with me.”
Really, it was for the best. Did
she want him to get to know the neurotic, insecure woman she’d become in the
last six years? Did she want this beautiful man to see the real her? She should
back away. Put more than two feet of distance between them.
“Tell me I’m wrong.” His Adam’s
apple bobbed. “Then ask me to stay and I will.”
“No, you’re not wrong.” She
looked away. Too tempted by far to risk being carefree enough to sleep with
him. To kiss him goodbye afterwards. To work with him the next day like nothing
had happened. Wished she didn’t believe in consequences. Or guilt.
“I should go.” He ran a hand over
the stumble forming along his jawline before retrieving his shirt. At the door,
with his back to her, he said, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
She nodded, but he didn’t see it. He was out the
door. His boot treads fading as he jogged down the stairs.
Then silence.
The kind that stretched to fill
the four corners of a room. A quiet that left little doubt you were utterly and
completely alone.
AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
I grew up on a farm in the middle of Canada's breadbasket. Under the
canopy of crisp blue prairie skies I read books. Lots and lots of books. One
day the inevitable happened and I knew without question the time was right.
What to write was never the issue - romance and the gut wrenching journey
towards forever.
