Librarian's Note: this is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B00K39CKHE. When reckless meets responsible... Straight A student Kathryn Lane is all work and no play. She's determined to keep her scholarship, and that means no distractions...until she takes a summer internship at Stone Cliff Resort and meets bad boy Noah Ryan. She knows she should keep her distance—after all he’s not the kind of guy she can bring home to daddy—but his disarming smile and dangerous ways are entirely too tempting. College dropout, Noah Ryan takes one look at Kathryn and instantly knows her type—ambitious, driven and determined, just like he used to be, before the accident that derailed his life and left him an emotional wreck. He vows to avoid her, but when a co-worker backs him into a bet he can’t refuse, everything he’s been running from is challenged and he’s forced to confront his demons. Soon, Kathryn and Noah are lost to everything except each other. As their lives become entwined, their passion is reckless, their heat all-consuming but when hurtful truths spill out, can Noah prove himself worthy of the one girl who can heal his wounded heart, or will the fire they ignited turn to ash when it all comes crashing down?

Chance brought them together, but a long-hidden secret could tear them apart... With a childhood full of broken promises, forgiveness doesn’t comes easy for Emery Phillips. Her family home is on the brink of foreclosure and she’s looking for the one guy who can save everything. Armed with nothing but a name and a possible location, Emery heads west, where she meets Ryan Phillips in an accidental encounter that leads to a night of the hottest sex she's ever had. Ryan joins her search, and a summer of stolen kisses and steamy passion slowly turns into much more as a fragile bond of trust develops. All Ryan wants is to get his late mother’s estate squared away before he leaves for medical school, but even the best laid plans have a way of veering off track. His mother's cryptic words won’t leave him alone: I should have told you…things you need to know. And there’s Emery, who stumbles into his room, rocks his world and steals his heart. When he finally unlocks the mystery of his past, will it mean a happy future for him and Emery? Or will they end up losing it all?

Nikki Martin comes from Compton, one of the roughest neighbourhoods in Toronto. She caught a break getting into the U of T, but like everything else, she’s had to bust her ass to stay there, especially when there’s no support from home to help pay for her degree. When her bursary becomes defunct she’s desperate to find work for the summer, even if it means she has to lie on her application to score a job at a resort far from home. Hell, that might be the best part. A summer in the mountains has to be better than bumming around the city. She can figure the whole mountaineering thing out before anyone realizes she’s never so much as climbed a tree—It can’t be as hard as surviving in the inner city. Evan Cade has worked at Stone Cliff Resort as a guide since he was sixteen and loves it to the point where someday he intends to buy the place, or build one just like it. So when a hotshot girl from Toronto is hired on to run one of the survival camps, he decides to take her for a test run and make sure she’s as good as she claims—before some innocent camper pays the price. Out on the mountain he discovers Nikki is nothing like she reads on paper, and while some of that is good, very good, it’s bad news for the camp. It’s either teach her everything he knows, or cancel half the bookings and risk closing the program. He just has to get past his reaction to her and concentrate on the job at hand. Evan has his mind on business but Nikki doesn’t take direction well. Following Evan and trusting him goes against her nature. But this isn’t the city and she needs the job. She can only imagine there is one thing he could want in exchange for the lessons, even if he doesn’t spell it out. Nikki needs this job to survive, but can Evan really imagine surviving Nikki?

He’ll teach her to trust, she’ll show him how to feel again. Once, Tess O’Neil had it all: head cheerleader, dating the most popular guy in school, a GPA of 4.0 that promised the spot of Valedictorian and a SAT score that guaranteed a full scholarship to the exclusive Culinary Arts Institute of her dreams in Nashville. Prom night was the icing on the cake…or so she thought. A date rape shatters her trust, leaving Tess skittish of a man’s touch, and fearing she may never be able to have a normal relationship again. Now, three years later, she’s ready to move on. When the opportunity to spend the summer at a posh vacation resort in Canada interning as a pastry chef arises, Tess welcomes the chance to get away from the past and her overprotective family. What she didn’t expect was to meet a former soldier with a wounded soul and a gentle touch that awakens the woman within. Jaskson (Jax) Warren has seen enough of blood and sand. Two tours of duty in Afghanistan has left him with grit in his heart and memories that haunt his dreams. A month out of uniform with his loving but hovering family has him ready to fly apart like the IED that killed his best friend. When a fellow veteran invites him to Alberta for the summer, it’s just what Jax needs. He finds solace in running Stone Cliff Resort’s stables and caring for a horse in need of a gentle hand. At last he finds a modicum of piece—until a diminutive blond with big green eyes full of longing and doubt walks in to his stables. Suddenly, Jax finds himself walking a line more fragile than the minefields in the Middle East. In her arms, he finds the sleep of a peaceful heart—but when the demons come to him in the night will she still want the man they leave behind?
