GENRE: Contemporary
Romance

BLURB:
The Wilde
brothers are addicted to the rush of adventure. But one of them is about to
learn no matter how often you look for danger, you don’t want danger finding
you.
For extreme skier Tripp Wilde,
pushing the limits is what he lives for. Unfortunately, the inherent risk takes
a toll on his body. After an injury sidelines him, he ends up in the care of
his little sister’s best friend, physical therapist Hannah Ryder—who has grown
up in all the right ways since they last met.
Hannah doesn’t mix business with
pleasure, even though she harbored a maddening crush on the irresistible Tripp
years before. So, while Tripp tries every slick maneuver he knows to bed her,
Hannah uses her own moves to keep the hotshot skier cooled off while trying to
control her own growing desire for him.
After the pair witness what they
think may be a murder on the slopes, along with the men responsible, no one
believes their story. But when a series of unlikely accidents suggests they are
being targeted, the two will have to trust in each other like never before if
they are going to survive.

EXCERPT:
When the door to
his hospital room opened, Tripp didn’t bother to glance up from the text he was
trying to send one-handed. He fumbled the phone and swore then tossed it down
on the bed. “Damn it. This sucks. I feel like a freaking invalid.”
“Problem?”
His chin came up
as his gaze shot toward the doorway. Not Jake, who’d left to get something to
eat and promised to come back later to drive him home. Hannah Ryder. His little
sister’s old college roommate. Once in a while, when he was actually home and
not to the far corners of the world, he caught sight of Hannah around town, but
they’d never been anything but casual acquaintances at best. From the way her
golden eyes narrowed on him, Tripp got the feeling she could take him or leave
him…and would prefer the latter.
“I guess I
wasn’t imagining you were on the hill this morning when they hauled me out of
the avalanche.”
“No, you
weren’t.” She advanced into the room and stopped a yard short of his bed. Hands
tucked into the pockets of her down jacket, she regarded him steadily. “How’re
you feeling?”
Strong was the
word that sprang to mind as he studied Hannah. Those golden eyes reflected
intelligence in their depths along with a mental toughness. Model tall but
without scrawny angles, this woman looked capable of taking down any man stupid
enough to mess with her without permission. Not that he’d ever try.
Tripp let out a
breath. “Uh, I’m feeling okay. A little loopy from the pain meds. I imagine my
shoulder will hurt like hell when they wear off.”
“Probably, but
they’ll give you more drugs to manage any discomfort. I ran into a friend on
the nursing staff out in the hall and got the basic facts. No fractures. That’s
great.”
He scowled. “The
dislocated shoulder is bad enough.”
“And only a mild
concussion. You were extremely lucky. You could easily have been killed.”
He rolled his
eyes. “Aren’t you Miss Glass Half-full. Lucky would have been not getting
caught in the avalanche. Really lucky would have been finishing my run before
the cornice broke free.”
Her golden cat
eyes darkened to the color of her tawny-brown hair as she tucked a stray lock
behind one ear. “I’ll report back to Eden that you’re not going to drop dead
anytime soon…unless one of the nurses gets fed up with your bad mood and kills
you.”
