Hi everyone! I’m Cindy Stark, and I’m excited to tell you about the latest in my Aspen series of small-town heartwarming romances with a side of sexy, BREATHLESS.
A traumatic incident in Laurel’s childhood left her with major trust issues, and she keeps people at arm’s length by throwing herself into writing about outdoor adventures and taking care of rescue animals. But her best friend knows Laurel secretly longs for love, and she sets her up on a blind date that rocks Laurel’s safe little world.
Her first impression of Charlie is that he’s just another ladies’ man, which is so not what she needs. But life keeps throwing them together, and even though Laurel tries to resist, there’s some serious chemistry brewing, and she begins to question her initial reaction.
Could Charlie actually be the stable, anchoring kind of guy she secretly wants but has never let herself have? Laurel takes death-defying risks as part of her job, but will she dare to gamble with her guarded heart to find out if Charlie might be the real deal?

Aspen #10
Laurel Ewing hides her traumatic childhood behind an impenetrable emotional fortress. The successful journalist buries herself in writing about her outdoor adventures and caring for rescue animals to avoid the danger of others. But when her best friend sets Laurel up on a surprise blind date, her carefully guarded world is rocked.
Charlie Blackmore may be handsome, charming, and passionate about his work, but Laurel knows his type all too well. The consummate ladies’ man can’t possibly offer the safety and stability her wary heart requires. Yet as they’re thrown together again and again, Charlie manages to disarm Laurel’s defenses and inspire unfamiliar longing.
The more Laurel tries to resist, the stronger their magnetic pull grows. Her heart wavers on the precipice of trust, leading her to question her initial assumptions about Charlie. Is he truly the Casanova she’d painted him to be? Or could he be the anchor she’s secretly been seeking?
Laurel is no stranger to life-threatening risks in her professional exploits. The real question now is, will she dare to gamble with the most fragile thing she possesses - her heart - to uncover the truth about Charlie, and perhaps, find the love she’s always denied herself?
