Contemporary Romance
ISBN:
9780373803644
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.
