How do you relate to a man who doesn't want you to?
Josie Sergeant has learned one thing by carving out her living from the wilds of the Canadian north: perseverance, optimism and the willingness to do what has to be done can overcome even the harshest of obstacles. Life has taught Theo Sabich, a fellow rancher from Australia, that optimism is a fool's hope.
When their beloved siblings' impetuous marriage plans pit Josie and Theo against one another to defend their families, they find more than they bargain for. And when they start seeing each other as more than enemies, they face their greatest challenge - finding the courage to reach out for happiness.
Under the northern lights, their attraction ignites beyond their control... The trouble is a one-time "no strings attached" release of passion is easier said than done when love is hanging by a thread.
Excerpt…
“Morning, sweetie,” the postmistress, Georgina Arbuckle, greeted her warmly, breaking into her thoughts. “Great fair, eh?”
“Yeah, the team won a ribbon, and I think Tom Scott is interested in picking up a couple young buffalo next season to add to his elk.”
“Hey, great! You made the paper.”
Josie glanced at the front of the small town rag and saw the team and herself. What a wonderful day it had been.
Josie began stowing the elastic-bound bundles of mail for her route into the canvas bag.
She had only four hours of sleep the night before, but she felt wonderful.
“Okay, who do I have to kill to find out about that great hunk of sex you were dancing with last night?” Georgina finally broke.
“His sister is marrying Richie at Christmas,” Josie explained. “He’s here for the wedding.”
“Make it a double ceremony if you can, honey,” the cute little brunette joked, “before the women of this town run out and kidnap him.”
Josie smiled laconically. The idea certainly had its appeal.
“He’s going back to Australia after Christmas,” Josie answered simply.
“Boy,” Georgina shook her head, “they sure know how to grow ‘em down there, huh? First Gladiator, and now your sex pot!”
“He’s not mine,” Josie denied as she hefted her bag onto her shoulder and exited the room. Yet, she added mentally. If she had anything to do about it he would be, and she only had a couple weeks left to make sure he didn’t leave after the wedding.
And right now she didn’t have two clues about how to make him stay.
She’d just have to learn.
A TRR Top Pick.
