ABOUT THE BOOK

 

There are three things Ford Garrison wants more than anything: to build, to report to no one, and the chance to live his life without the prying eyes of the good folks of Eagle’s Ridge. Having spent ten years in the Navy as part of their construction battalion, he was able to live out most of that dream. Two out three wasn’t bad, right? Now that he’s out of the service, things aren’t falling into place quite as easily as he hoped and he ends up back home with all eyes on him.

 

It wasn’t as if Callie had gone out of her way to end up in Ford’s path, but somehow that happened all on its own and the town gossips were having a field day! Could she help it that she was living in the house Ford had hoped to claim as his own or that the work on his grandmother’s ranch meant they were living not fifty-feet away from each other?

 

Ford was determined to come home, do a job to help his grandmother and leave. Callie James is a distraction and she represents everything he has spent years running away from. Now he’s at odds with his friends, his family and himself about where his home and future are going to be.

 

Could he walk away from Eagle’s Ridge a second time?

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT

He inspected all of the other windows again and then went up to check the patch on the loft ceiling. When it looked like he was satisfied with the work he’d done, Ford joined her back in the kitchen. “Everything seems to be sealed up pretty good. I think it will hold you over for a while, but I’d still like to send some guys over and see about doing the repairs formally.”

Callie wiped her hands on a dishtowel and nodded. It would be pointless to argue with him. This was his family’s property and he was looking after it. How could she fault him for that?

“Thanks. That’s very considerate of you.” They stood facing each other in silence until Callie started to feel awkward. “So…um…thank you for the help.”

He smiled. “Thanks for dinner.”

More silence.

Not sure of what else to do, Callie went to give him a hug to thank him. It just seemed like the thing to do. But then something unexpected happened.

Ford leaned in to hug her too.

Only…it was far more intimate than friendly, and as his strong arms wrapped around her, she felt like she was on sensory overload. He was so warm and he smelled so good and…every inch of him was hard and muscled and felt amazing.

Really good.

Slowly her gaze drifted up to his…and what she saw there wasn’t casual and it wasn’t friendly.

It was hot.

And sexy as hell.

Gently, she licked her lips and she heard Ford’s soft intake of breath.

Maybe he moved closer, but Callie had a feeling she did. His arms slowly tightened around her and soon they were pressed together almost from head to toe. She wanted to say something—anything—but was afraid to break the spell. They stayed like that, almost as if time had stopped, and her heart was racing with the thought of Ford kissing her. She wanted him to kiss her. Needed him to kiss her.

Unable to stop herself, she whispered his name, and that seemed to do the trick. Ford closed the distance between them and slowly fitted his lips to hers.

Yes! she thought. Finally!

She pressed closer as the kiss went from chaste to curious to deep and wet. Callie clutched at his flannel shirt and wanted nothing more than to wrap herself completely around him, and from the way his hands were starting to wander, Ford seemed on board with that.

A moment later, Ford lifted his head and looked down at her. If anything, his gaze was even hotter than it had been before the kiss.

“Wow,” she said breathlessly, and he grinned.

“Yeah,” he said, his own voice deep and a little rough. “Wow.”

Swallowing hard, Callie had no idea what she was supposed to do or say. She certainly didn’t want to spook him in any way, but…who knew if she’d ever have a chance like this again?

So she did the only thing she could.

She wrapped her hand around his nape and pulled him down for another kiss.
