Rescued by a Christmas Kiss

Book excerpt: She’s seeking shelter. He’s hardened his heart. His cat just wants chin rubs. Lucinda Thomalin fears for her life.

His cat wants her to stay, and soon Brier’s chest is aching at the thaw… How can lust turn to love so quickly, especially when Brier knows she’s destined to leave? A determined woman.
