Blurb:
If up and coming realtor Holly Grant can buy Turnaround Farm for her client, her business will boom. Who says you have to have a man in your life to complete you? She’s fine as she is thank you very much. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen. 

Excerpt: Chapter One
Last week

She’d probably fall and break every bone in her body. How could the Wakefields stand this horrible, cold house?

She tiptoed down the stairs and opened the door that led to the kitchen. The room looked gloomy, but at least the banked fire somewhat kept the cold at bay and provided a dim light to see by. She got her water, used the bathroom, and with no more reason to delay, she dashed back up the steps toward her icy room.

If they sell the farm, maybe they’ll buy a warmer house with a night-light. I can’t see a wink. Was my room on the right or left side of the hall? Wait. It was the right.


This Week: We're picking up where we left off last week.

Holly hurried into the room and quickly slid under the bedcovers. Thank goodness for Loretta who had kept the bed warm. She stuck her cold feet on Loretta’s side of the bed and gradually warmed up enough to sleep.

Holly snuggled closer to the hard, masculine form 
beside her. What a great dream! She sighed as she stroked a heavily muscled arm. Her hand curved around his shoulder, and she traced the outline of the muscles in his back.

She gasped as strong arms encircled her body. Her pulse raced as he nipped and nuzzled the sensitive spot below her ear.
