THE LAST RESORT
By Ember Leigh
Blurb:
Rose Delaney is a baby bounty hunter, rescuing children from
fugitive ex-spouses. All she wants is to return a recovered child to its mother
and get back to her regimented solitary life. But when a snow storm leaves her
and baby Emmy stranded, Rose has no choice but to lean on the ruggedly handsome
rescuer, who thinks the baby is hers. Holed up in their mountain
resort-under-construction and unable to contact Emmy’s mother, Rose's priority
is hitting the road—even if Garrett’s erotic touch entices her to ride out the
storm.
Construction boss Garrett Galo loves his job, but he never
imagined a perk like being snowbound during a whiteout with the sassy brunette
he just rear-ended. He’s learned to stay away from women who want a family,
especially when they come with a kid in tow. When passionate nighttime
encounters flare between them, Garrett begins to question what he’d risk to
keep Rose.
This isn’t the time or the place for romance—but will five
days on a mountain make these loners reconsider giving in to love?
Excerpt:
Around
the corner, she didn’t see either of the brothers. The shower hummed from
inside the bathroom.
Two
options. She pressed her ear against the bathroom door and listened, only
hearing the steady rush of the water hitting the wall. She could burst inside
and hop into the shower with whoever it might be, including Wes…or she could
politely knock and lose all shock value.
Rose
decided the first one.
She
turned the doorknob quietly and pushed on the door. Beyond, she could see the
first curve of the sink and part of the trashcan. No feet. No hands.
A cough
from within.
She
smirked—definitely Garrett.
Inching
the door open further, she poked her head in. Garrett’s body silhouetted
against the translucent shower door. The image of his chiseled, naked body
seared through her mind. Her mouth went dry.
She crept
inside and eased the door shut, body rigid as she watched his shadow move
inside the shower. The fogged mirror hid her reflection as the soft mesh shorts
slipped to ground, followed by her undies and T-shirt.
Garrett
began humming, out of tune, something that sounded suspiciously like a
children’s song.
Rose
grinned, excitement roiling beneath her skin. This not only was going to
happen, it needed to happen. Her heart thumped in her chest as she
reached for the shower door.
The door
opened a few inches before Garrett’s humming turned into a gasp. He whipped
around and pulled aside the shower door, eyes wild.
“Rose.”
She
grinned up at him, loving the swirls of shock and appreciation in his eyes as
he took her in.
“Can I
join?”
His mouth
hung open a moment, gaze sweeping over her naked body, lighting fires on her
skin. He grabbed her around the waist and yanked her inside the shower,
slamming the door shut behind her.
The water hit her body in a pleasingly warm
rush. He pinned her to the shower wall with his hips. Her breath hitched.
“I don’t
even want to ask why you’re naked in my bathroom,” he said, kissing her neck,
“and I don’t even care. Fact is, you’re here, and you’re mine now.” She giggled
as the kisses dropped between her breasts and then traveled up to her mouth.
His hair clung to his face and neck. She trailed her fingers up his arms and
around his neck as Garrett sealed their bodies together. Her skin buzzed hot
and happy against his.
“You are
one sneaky lady,” he murmured, tugging on her bottom lip with his teeth.
Contentment
surged through her, and she closed her eyes, relishing this unlikely moment.
She might never see Garrett again in her life after tomorrow, or the next day.
How did she even find her way to know him? It was all so impossible. It was
time to make sure neither of them ever forgot— or regretted—meeting the other.
“I know
how to get what I want.”
