There's something about those Wyoming men... New
York Timesbestselling author Diana Palmer returns to the Cowboy State with
a brand-new tale of desire and deception
Cultivating his vast Wyoming
ranch is all security expert J. C. Calhoun wants. His land is the only thing
the betrayed rancher can trust in after discovering his fiancee was pregnant by
another man. But all J.C. holds dear becomes compromised when a lost little
girl leads him to Colie Jackson, the woman who destroyed his life.
Colie stops at nothing to
protect the people she loves. Years ago she left J.C. for his own good. Now,
for the sake of her daughter, she must depend on a hard-hearted man who won't
forgive her. As a band of ruthless criminals tracks their every move through
the frozen Wyoming winter, Colie and J.C. will be forced to confront the lies
that separated them--and the startling truth that will bind them forever...
J.C. looked
incredibly handsome in a shepherd’s coat, jeans and boots, with snow dusting
his thick, black, uncovered hair.
“You never
wear a hat,” Colie mused, trying not to let her hands tremble as she took the
coat to hang up for him. He was so tall that she had to stand on her tiptoes to
pull it back off his shoulders.
“I hate
hats,” he remarked. He glanced at her as she put the coat on the rack in the
hall, his pale gray eyes narrow and appraising on her slender, sexy body. She
dressed like a lady, but he knew all about women who put on their best behavior
around company. She was just out of school; college, he was certain, because
she had to be at least twenty-two or twenty-three. Catelow had several thousand
people, and J.C. didn’t mix with them. He only knew what Rodney told him about
his sister. And that wasn’t much.
“I
noticed,” Colie said as she turned, smiling.
His eyes
flickered down to her pert breasts and he fought down a raging hunger that he
hadn’t felt in a long time. He had women, but this one stirred him in a different
way. He couldn’t explain how, exactly. It irritated him and he scowled.
“It wasn’t
a complaint,” Colie added quickly, not understanding the scowl.
He
shrugged. “No problem. What are we eating?”
“Leftover
turkey with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, salad and apple pie.” She
hesitated, insecure. “Is that okay?”
He smiled,
his perfect white teeth visible under chiseled, sensuous lips. “It’s great. I
love turkey.” He chuckled. “I like chicken, too, although I usually get mine
in a bucket.”
Her eyes
widened. “You put it in a pail, like you milk cows with?” she asked, shocked.
He glowered
at her. “There’s this chicken place. They sell you chicken and biscuits and
sides…”
She went
red as fire. “Oh, gosh, sorry, wasn’t thinking,” she stammered. “Let’s go in!
Daddy’s already at the table.”
Rodney went
ahead, but J.C. slid a long finger inside the back of Colie’s sweater and
gently stopped her. He moved forward, so that she could feel the heat and power
of him at her back in a way that made her heart run wild, her knees shiver. “I
was teasing,” he whispered right next to her ear. His lips brushed it.
Her intake
of breath was visible. Her whole body felt shaky.
His big
hands caught her shoulders and held her there while his lips traveled down the
side of her throat in a lazy, whispery caress that caused her to melt inside.
“Do you
like movies?” he whispered.
“Well,
yes…”
“There’s a
new comedy at the theater Saturday. Go with me. We’ll have supper at the fish
place on the way.”
She turned,
shocked. “You…you want to go out with me?” she asked, her green eyes wide and
full of delight.
He smiled
slowly. “Yes. I want to go out with you.”
“Saturday?”
He nodded.
“What
time?”
“We’ll
leave about five.”
“That would
be lovely,” she said, drowning in his eyes, on fire with the joy he’d just
kindled in her with the unexpected invitation.
“Lovely,”
he murmured, but he was looking at her mouth.

Winter by Diana Palmer
I enjoyed this second chance romance where decisions you make based on your past can greatly impact your life. It took me a while to get into it, mainly due to the writing style, (this is based on personal preference), but then I couldn't wait to see how they fixed their relationship.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
