It's New Year's Eve...and now or never for these two hearts
When a woman with no faith in love meets the quintessential nice guy determined to breach her mile-high walls, sparks fly as both fight a decidedly unwelcome but equally unavoidable attraction.
Steph Hargrove was a bombshell, a sexy, intrepid woman operating in the business world with guts, brains and daring. She was accustomed to going after whatever she wanted until a man she called friend betrayed her and the company sheād helped buildāand nearly killed her in the process. Since that time, sheās been a shadow of the wild, wicked woman whoād carved a swath through her world.
Gavin OāNeill is an artisan with wood, a gardener, a restorer of battered homes and a savior of strays. When first he meets the wounded woman who postures as invincible and worldly, the sadness in her eyes draws him even more than her lush figure does. However she insists otherwise, he sees that she needs the kindness and friendship he can give to her while heās waiting for the woman of his dreams, who will be small and soft and sweet, different in every way from the woman he keeps returning to see.
Yet while heās not interested in the virago and she refuses to be nurtured, a potent attraction keeps them circling each other. And while theyāre busy listing the reasons theyāre unsuited, something powerful is growing between them.
New Yearās Eve is for lovers and new beginningsā¦will these two stubborn souls take the risk?
