Steve Johnson is living his life’s passion watching over the Colorado Mountains as a ranger and wildlife consultant. But his peaceful life is upended when overzealous and insanely beautiful Shannon Braden flits back into his life after returning from a brief trip home to Maryland. He thought his attraction to her was under control—after all, she’s only in Colorado temporarily, and he doesn’t do casual affairs.
Steve Johnson is living his life’s passion watching over the Colorado Mountains as a ranger and wildlife consultant. But his peaceful life is upended when overzealous and insanely beautiful Shannon Braden flits back into his life after returning from a brief trip home to Maryland. He thought his attraction to her was under control—after all, she’s only in Colorado temporarily, and he doesn’t do casual affairs.
Shannon’s
return to Colorado has as much to do with the game of cat and mouse
she and Steve have been playing as it does the data she’s been
hired to collect. But despite her efforts to explore the undeniable
heat simmering between them, Steve’s intent on keeping his
distance.
When a
ranch abutting the national park goes up for sale, Steve will do
whatever it takes to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. And
when all his attempts fail, he’s left with no alternative but to
follow Shannon’s guidance into the online world he abhors in order
to raise the funds. The more time they spend together, the deeper
their attraction becomes, and a game of cat and mouse turns into an
unstoppable connection. But when Shannon’s assignment comes to an
end, will it mean an end to them, too?
Excerpt
He met
her eyes. “Hannah…?”
Her chin
tilted up toward his. “Yes, Carter?”
“You
going to be okay here? I can always call Sandy—”
“No,
please. Sandy’s already done enough. So have Lou and Kurt, and…”
She ducked her head with a blush. “You, Santa.”
“Kind
of funny meeting that way.” When she looked up he was grinning.
“Funny, but not bad—by any stretch.”
“No.
Not bad at all.”
Hannah
noticed his jacket slung over the back of the armchair and that he’d
set his hat on the table by the door. Carter lifted the jacket and
slipped into it, raising its zipper. “Might want to stick that bowl
of stew in the microwave for a minute or two.”
“I’ll
do that,” she said brightly.
He
ambled toward the door and placed his hat on his head, tapping it
down. His deep voice rumbled. “Kurt’s a good-looking guy.”
“Kurt?”
Hannah asked, flummoxed.
“Eligible
bachelor too.”
“Can’t
say I noticed.”
“No? I
thought I heard the two of you talking from the kitchen—”
“Sheriff.”
She stopped him. “I’m not interested in any man right now, okay?
And if I
were…”
Hannah swallowed hard past the lump in her throat.
“If
you were…?” he said, leading.
Hannah’s
heart hammered and her knees felt weak. “I told you, I’m just
passing through.”
“Odd
thing about that, Hannah.” He tipped his hat her way. “Nobody in
town seems to know that, but me.”
Then he
stepped out the door, shutting it soundly behind him.
