Just before Christmas, trauma
makeup artist Abigail Fox packs up her bag of tricks and
travels to Crested Butte, Colorado, to help an actress who
has lived in seclusion since a disfiguring accident.
The lodge owner irritates her with his suspicions
that she’s only out to hook her name to a star. However,
his broad shoulders and quiet intensity make her weak in the
knees.
A former stuntman familiar with Hollywood
politics, Brady is sure Abigail has ulterior motives. Why
else would she travel far from home over a holiday if there
wasn’t something in it for her? Yet gradually he realizes
that with Abigail, what you see is what you get—a caring
woman who only wants to help accident victims rediscover
life.
Sheltered in Brady’s beautiful, snowbound
world, warmed by his holiday wish that has nothing to do
with Santa Claus, Abigail finds herself falling into his
arms. But if he learns her terrible secret, the love that’s
catching fire could blow up in her face.
This
book was released by Silhouette Books in December 1994.
