Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies,
and pine-scented breezes. And it's the last place Lily Danville wants to be.
But she needs a job, and there's an opening at the hottest resort in her
hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge:
Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could
resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call
home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never
has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten
years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she
needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses.
But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad
boy-a second chance . . .
Read an Excerpt from SECOND CHANCE SUMMER
βCome here,β he said.
βIβm right here.β
βCloser.β
She walked into his arms. He pulled her in and kissed her. He kissed her
until he knew heβd taken it as far as he could without tearing off that
pretty sundress right then and there, and only then did he lift his head.
βOh,β she breathed, staggering back a step, clearly trying to play it coolβ
which might have worked if her eyes werenβt dilated and the pulse at the base
of her throat wasnβt going apeshit crazy.
He gave a slow smile and pulled her back in, not hard for him to do, since
she already had a grip on his shirt like he was her lifeline and she was
going down for the count.
She cleared her throat. βSo you showed up all Captain America to save the
day, and now what? I jump into bed with you? Was that your plan?β
βYeah,β he said, βbut in my version we didnβt talk this much.β
βA full-service rescue then,β she said evenly.
He tried a cajoling smile. βIβm really good at full service.β
βDo you really think this is a good idea?β
He laughed softly and let his mouth brush over her temple and then her ear,
which caused her to shiver. βOf course itβs not a good idea. Or weβd have
gone for it already.
But sometimes the bad ideas turn out to be the best ideas of all.β
βYeah?β she asked. βName one.β
βBringing out your keys from the convenience store after the postcard display
demolition.β
She let out a soft laugh and fisted her hands in his hair.
βSo what now? We really going to try this out?β
Were they? Heβd promised himself he wouldnβt give her a chance to devastate
him again. But somehow over the past few weeks heβd lost sight of keeping his
heart safe and moved onto wanting to heal her heart. βIβm game.β
She hesitated so long he took a step back from her and prepared himself to
leave. But her hand came out and gripped his. βYouβre wearing too many
clothes,β she said softly.
