Startling events had left Camille Campbell living like a recluse and fearful of loving ever again. She had vowed not to need or want anyone—but when her sexy neighbor from across the field of lavender came calling, her body threatened to betray all her best intentions. No stranger to heartache, Pete MacDougal understood Camille's turmoil and sought out the beauty next door in what he thought of as a simple act of kindness. But as soon as Pete had Camille in his arms, his blood pulsed out of control and he found himself in a wild affair that could ultimately melt both their ice-protected hearts.

She was no man magnet. From her Gypsy clothing to her feline fan club to her transparent attempt at seeming helium-headed, Violet Campbell screamed, "Run for your life," her lucrative lavender fields be damned. But Cameron Lachlan had never wanted to be anywhere...with anyone...more. Somehow, someway, this bewildering lady had transformed his wanderlust to age-old desire. But instead of wanting the moon, which she deserved, Violet seemed to accept that he would leave her bed—and her. Which he might have done...once. But just when he'd found the woman worth staying for, she hinted at reasons that he should run—not walk—away.

Recently burned by heartache, a fierce blizzard and a sexy stranger were exactly what Daisy Campbell needed. When she returned to her hometown and found herself stranded with Teague Larson, she never expected to throw caution—and her clothes—to the wind. But as the intensity of their attraction rose with the falling temperatures, they had to stay warm somehow, didn't they? Teague was deeply drawn to Daisy's independence and sophistication—not to mention those long, sexy-as-all-hell legs. But they'd both lost in the game of love before and neither wanted to lay their hearts on the line again. Yet this relationship felt entirely different—and worth fighting for. Could one night by a fire turn into a red-hot forever?
