He's come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon, to keep
a promise—even if it means losing his heart…
Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's
intention. But if there's one thing the ex-military man knows, it's that life
rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother-in-arms
would still be alive. And Alex wouldn't have inherited a ranch or
responsibility for his late comrade's sister—a woman who, despite her
inexperience, can bring tough-as-iron Alex to his knees.
Clara Campbell didn't ask for a hero to ride in and fix her
ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honorable Alex is
reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a
few lessons to teach him, too…about trusting his heart and his instincts, and
letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.
Excerpt:
Reluctantly, she covered the coffee with a white
to-go lid then turned to walk out the door. She didn’t make it very far,
though, because she ran right into a brick wall.
Well, it wasn’t really a brick wall. It just
felt like one. Large, hard and uncompromising. But breathing. Which brick walls
definitely didn’t do.
“Clara Campbell. Fancy meeting you here.”
Clara blinked and stared up into Alex Donnelly’s
forest-green eyes and felt a strange response that seemed to originate in her
stomach and travel upward to her chest, where it twisted, hard and sharp.
After looking at Asher, his understated physique
and much softer brown gaze, the sight of Alex was jarring. Too intense. Too
masculine. Too a lot of things.
His dark hair wasn’t military short anymore. It
was long enough to hang into his face. He pushed it back off his forehead and
again, something twisted, low and deep inside of her.
And then it wasn’t only his features that seemed
too sharp. It was seeing him at all. She had been studiously avoiding him ever
since he had moved back to Copper Ridge. If ever she’d caught a glimpse of him
out of the corner of her eye, she’d gone the other way.
The last time she’d seen him up close had been
at Jason’s funeral.
Pain washed through her, canceling out all of
the good Asher feelings from only a moment before.
No wonder she’d had such a strong, immediate response
to the sight of Alex. The man was dragging a bunch of her baggage in with him.
Another thing she liked about Asher. He was separate from her life. From her
pain.
Alex was all wound up in it.
“Hi, Alex,” she said, clutching her coffee cup
tight, the warmth bleeding through to her palms. Which she was grateful for at
the moment since her stomach had gone ice-cold at the sight of him.
“I’ve been meaning to stop by,” he said.
“That’s really okay,” she said, and she meant
it. More than okay. Jason’s death meant that she was alone. Both of her parents
were already gone. They’d had children later in life, and when her mother had
gotten sick, her father had done everything he could to make his wife comfortable
as her health declined. She’d died when Clara was twelve. And there had been no
amount of preparation that could soften the blow. No amount of expectedness
that could have made it feel less like a giant, ugly hand had reached into
their life and wrenched the beauty out of it, leaving nothing but a dark abyss.
