Kate Fenelli arrives home to Valentine Valley, Colorado
just as the
decorating begins for Christmas. Kate is an attorney in a
large law firm in Vail
while sharing the responsibility for her 13-year-old son,
Ethan, with her ex-
husband. Divorced from Tony De Luca, owner of a tavern,
neither has
managed to find love with anyone else in the nine years
since the divorce. If only
this was just another vacation for the career-driven woman
rather than being
placed on a sabbatical over a difference of opinion with
the firm in dealing
with a client. Kate has always been about principles and
doing things ethically
and correctly.
Kate and Tony have created a very workable schedule co-
parenting Ethan.
He spends weekends in Vail with Kate and weekdays with
Tony. As her time in
Valentine Valley continues and she spends time with her
family, she accepts a
joke challenge from Tony to work in his tavern as a server
to keep her from
boredom. The challenge soon brings them in a closer
proximity than either
anticipates. The heat is still there and turns them on
like no one else can.
The community busybody widows even quickly recognize
something is going
on between the couple no matter how hard they try to hide
their ex-sex
agreement. Both realize they have missed the love and
meaningful sex they
once shared. Family and friends can easily see what's
happening no matter
how hard they try to hide it. Just as Kate is having
second thoughts about her
decision years ago and plans to declare her revitalized
love, Tony pulls away,
fearing another broken heart upon her return to Vail and
her high profile job.
I absolutely love the Valentine Valley series with
all the wonderful and
warm hometown residents. They all look out for each other
and are always
willing to be there when trouble comes around. Emma Cane
certainly knows
how to draw at the old heartstrings. She is a genius at
creating her emotional
and caring characters that are oh, so hard not to love. I
am first in line for all
her new works, especially this particular series! Just
keep them coming,
Emma!
Return to Valentine Valley, where Christmas lights are
twinkling and first love burns brighter the second time
around . . .
When Tony De Luca's ex, Kate Fenelli, waltzes through the
door of his tavern and pulls up a bar stool, she turns his
balanced world on end. Once they'd been each other's first
love, first everything. But then life happened, and they
walked away with broken hearts. Now Kate is back in
Valentine, and they can't seem to stay out of each other's
way. When Tony begins wondering what would happen if they
rekindled the sparks, he knows he's in big trouble.
Kate can't believe she's sitting at Tony's bar spilling
her
life-changing problems to him. He's as gorgeous as ever,
and
she can't seem to forget how incredible he always made her
feel. Still, the door on that chapter of their lives
closed
long ago. Yet with Christmas buzzing in the air, Kate
can't
help wondering if anything is possible—even a second
chance
with the only man she's ever loved.
