Flipping up the mask on her helmet, she sighed, relaxed, and leaned back on her elbows. Mitch’s snowmobile continued to zoom ahead, then did an abrupt circle, roared back in her direction and stopped abruptly. His machine was as snow-covered as hers was, and with his suit and helmet totally...

He caught a glint of her moonlit hair, the curve, of her shoulders, the utter stillness of her. Every pulse, every muscle, every nerve in his body wanted to go to her, hold her…dammit, make love to her. For the tick of a second there was silence. Unfortunately, his lady wasn’t physica...
Four Justin felt his heart stop, then start galloping at breakneck pace. Winona wasn’t really asking to marry him. He realized that. Completely. Marriage had become a ritual tease subject between them, because he’d asked her to marry him so many times. She’d always assumed he was joking, so it wa...
She tossed on the bed, in rapid succession, her dress, stockings, slip and underpants. Stripped down to bare skin, she raced back downstairs, leaped gingerly onto the dry sink and started pumping in water. There was no time to take a bath in the pond. She was in too much of a hurry.Maybe he was a...
The girls poured through her front door and threw themselves on the old leather couches as if they couldn’t make it another inch. “I’ve never been so tired in my whole life!” Pepper said. “You’re such a wuss. There’s nothing to be tired about. But I...

He’d had a blast with his nephews on Whisper Mountain. They’d stayed up late, camped in the high mountain cabin, fished, ate junk food, told ghost stories and of course, made huge fires—everything the boys wanted to do. Everything he loved to do with them, as well...although Ginger was never far ...
