Love is Lovelier
Rivers Bend Trilogy Book 2
Heather and Mick have a long history together, and Heather wants
to leave it in the past where it belongs. Yet, here Mick is, very much in her
present, thanks to her brother Jeff, who hired Mick to be her boss at the
Retreat at Rivers Bend.
It wouldn’t be so bad, except Heather and Mick are still
attracted to each other like metal to a magnet. Oh, and her brother is
considering offering Mick a partnership in the Retreat, which by rights should
be hers. And even if they act on their attraction, Heather is a small-town,
country girl, and proud of it, whereas Mick can’t get far enough from his West
Virginia coal-mining roots.
Will they be able to get a second chance at their first love and
find their happy ending together in Rivers Bend?
Excerpt
“Stick close. I’ll get you out of
here.”
He used his broad shoulders as a
wedge to propel himself though the crowd; Heather scurried to keep up with him
so she could take advantage of the gap he created, not wanting to be so close
that she could feel the warmth of his body through his elegant suit, but
because she needed somehow to beat this crush of people to the Retreat to make
sure that everything was in place for the post-christening party she’d planned
for Bethanne – only perfection would do for her BFF.
She watched Mick’s back as she
stuck close to him; he looked so strong and fit – it was hard to imagine him
the way he was ten years ago, when he’d suffered his NFL career-ending injury,
but the same business acumen that kept him with the Portland Pintos
organization back then was the reason Jeff and Cisco hired him at the Retreat.
He’d be good for business – she’d
just have to keep chanting those words in her head like a mantra, or else she’d
do one of two things she’d regret – kill Mick, or kiss him, and she’d gone the
kissing route with him before. It did not end well. And tempting as the killing
option was at the moment, it probably wouldn’t end any better.
