Naomi Fisher happily visits Montana to help plan her cousin’s wedding. During the last visit, she had almost fallen in love with her cousin’s soon-to-be brother in law, the sexy and sullen Chayton Chambers. This time, she can’t afford to snag her future plans as a fashion consultant because of an attraction that could prove to be fatal.
Chayton Chambers almost lost his heart to Naomi Fisher once, so he doesn’t take kindly to her reappearance in his life. He will do what must be done to keep his brother and the bride happy, even if that means accompanying the lovely Naomi down the aisle. It won’t be long before Naomi is bored with his small town and heading back to her Hollywood fantasies.
When Chayton’s brother is kidnapped on his wedding day, Chayton and Naomi rush to find the relic demanded as ransom so her cousin can become a bride instead of a widow. The consequences could mean more than losing their heart—it could mean losing their life.
Excerpt:
Surprise flashed through his brain, but he narrowed his eyes before it had a chance to erupt on his face. He edged closer. In her heels, her nose usually touched his chin, but now the top of her head came under his chin. Her breath curled around his cheek, exerting an agitated pull on his hormones that left him shaky and hesitant. He camouflaged that hesitation with cockiness and confidence.
She inched her nose higher. He leaned down to look at her, his face a fingerbreadth from hers. “Maybe that’s your problem,” he grumbled. “Maybe you can’t get over the fact that I never tried to kiss you.”
He closed in on her, pinning her against the wall as he settled his hands on the wall near her head. She couldn’t move with him so near and he made a point to trap her.
He remained that way for several seconds, staring into blue eyes of defiance as they breathed in each other’s breath. His pulse hinged precariously close to plunging overboard and disrupting his steady poise, but for now he held on.
Then he kissed her. Hard. Briefly. Fervidly. Heat traversed from his toes, agitating his shaky thighs and roosting in his loins only to explode behind his eyes.
She deepened the kiss, a slight brush of her tongue against his. He held on another brief moment then dropped his hands and backed away before his point became futile. Swiping a hand across his mouth, he pinned her with a hard gaze. “Is that better?”
“I’m not here to ask your forgiveness.”
