He doesn’t believe in happy endings…
Saddled with the impossible task of finding a feel-good story, journalist
Aiden O’Sullivan reluctantly accepts his godmother’s invitation to visit
Marietta, Montana, to experience the small town’s Valentine’s Day
celebration. Upon his arrival, a minor ankle injury lands him in the ER of
the local hospital when his godmother insists a doctor should examine
it.
After her parents’ untimely deaths, Dr. Vivian Miller moved from Sacramento
to Marietta with her siblings. Apart from the freezing cold and rampant
gossiping, life in town is uneventful. Until a music teacher at the local
high school brings her godson to the ER. Vivian has a soft spot for children
and hurries to help, only to find the “godson” is an opinionated, rude
journalist with no visible injury to his foot.
Vivian has no time for journalists, even the drop-dead gorgeous kind. Aiden
isn’t in town for long, but he quickly becomes involved in the lovely
doctor’s problems, something he’s sworn will never happen again.
Will these two strangers end up finding a home together at the foot of
Copper Mountain?

He did a double-take. Dr. Vivian Miller was standing in front of him. He
blinked, but when he opened his eyes, she was still there. She looked
different, though. Still no makeup, but the tight bun was gone. Instead,
golden-blond curls fell over her shoulders and down her back. Dressed in
jeans and a soft, blue sweater, matching the blue of her eyes, she just
about took his breath away.
“Doctor…” His voice was strangely husky; he had to clear his throat before
he could continue to speak. “Doctor Miller?”
Fidgeting with her bag, she was noticeably uneasy. “Vivian, please. Look,
I’m sorry about earlier. I was… I thought you were a little boy, and I was
probably rude.”
So, the ice-cold Doctor Miller did have a heart somewhere. Enjoying her
discomfort, he leaned against the door frame for a moment, ignoring the
cold. “Probably?”
She lifted her chin. “May I come in, please? It’s bitterly cold, if you
haven’t noticed. I’ve brought you some Tylenol and a gel that will help
relieve the pain. And could you… would you mind…” Inhaling, she stomped into
the house. “Please put on a damn shirt.”

Can he convince her that what’s between them is much more than just
biology?
Stacey Lawrence is happily single even though the folks in Alisson, Montana
seemed bent on getting her the last thing she wanted: a husband. And babies?
The mere thought has her shuddering, and that is not because of the cold
Montana winters. If she can now only stay away from the very sexy ex-FBI
agent turned self-defense instructor, Jason Coleman until her dopamine and
norepinephrine levels have settled, she’ll be able to continue her happy
single life as the computer whizz in town. But when Eleanor Johnson needs
Stacey’s help with the upcoming bachelor auction, avoiding Jason becomes a
problem. Turns out, he’s going to be one of the bachelors.
Since the moment his eyes met Stacey Lawrence’s gorgeous blue ones in one
of his self-defense classes, Jason knows she’s trouble. He likes women but
he’s not interested in anything more permanent than a few dates. Avoiding
her isn’t initially a problem. Turns out, the lady is also trying to avoid
him. But when he’s roped in to take part in the ridiculous bachelor’s
auction, he ends up spending more time with the elusive Stacey until he
forgets why he wanted to avoid her in the first place.
Too old to play games, Jason suggests they spend time together but Stacey
seems convinced that they’re attraction is just biology. Is she right or are
his feelings for the redhead much more than a mere chemical reaction?

But he continued grinning. “See? We’re finally getting to know one another.
I didn’t know you’d been a waitress before you moved to Alisson.”
She stopped in the middle of the bar and faced him. “I don’t know what your
game is, but—”
But before she could finish her sentence, his hand reached out and warm
fingers touched her face. Her mind froze. The angry words vanished.
It was just a fleeting gesture, but one she felt right down to the bottoms
of her soles. I’m too old to play games, Stacey. You’re breathtakingly
beautiful. I ache for you.” His eyes darkened, his voice turned gravelly. He
dropped his hand. “But I get the message. You’re not interested. If you ever
change your mind, though, let me know. We’ve tried avoiding each
other…”
She opened her mouth to disagree, but he put a finger on her lips,
effectively making it impossible to form thoughts, let alone say a single
word.
“You’ve been avoiding me. And I’ve tried to stay out of your way. It’s not
working. I still think about you all the damn time. Maybe we should try
something different. I want you even more now than I did when I first laid
eyes on you in the dojo. And don’t even try to tell me you don’t remember
that moment. You reacted to me as well. I noticed. I notice everything about
you.” With a final touch to her arm, he walked away.
Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when
she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry
James, the Brontë sisters, etc. during her Honors studies, she was hooked
for life.
Although her three gown-up children rarely acknowledge the fact they have a
romance-writing mom, her husband fortunately, is very proud of her, reads
every word and is happy to make sure she gets the kissing scenes just
right.
She likes the heroines in her stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent
and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous
amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous. Her stories
typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better
understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the
story.
