"Cleverly written, fun-filled romantic escape."

Kate Hamilton did her job correctly and got innocents killed. Then she finds out her ex-boyfriend is getting married. On her way to spend some time with her grandfather and think about her life, she comes on to a good-looking hunk at a ski lodge...and gets turned down flat. Mortified, she retreats to her room and hits the road first thing the next morning.

Helping her grandfather operate his store, she's settling in and is prepared to meet his newest business neighbor, Rob Sutter, only to find out he's the good-looking hunk from the ski lodge. And he definitely remembers their all- too-brief encounter.

Picking up a Rachel Gibson novel is never a chancy move. You can always count on her stories to give you hours of fun-filled escape. With winter in full-out freeze mode, it's a good time to curl up with a good book. And this is a good book. Kate is a take-no-nonsense go-getter, but she's met her match in Rob. Add in the antics of a small town in the Midwest and you have a definite winner.

Well, for starters, she quickly realizes that the Mountain Momma Crafters' original poetry readings is about as good as it gets on a Friday night. Then she comes face-to-face with Rob Sutter, former ice hockey madman, owner of Sutter Sports -- and the hunky stranger who told her to get lost. Rob's been more than burned by love -- but then he and Kate find themselves in an ultra-compromising position in the M & S Market after hours, giving the phrase "clean-up in aisle five" a whole new meaning, and causing a whole lot of gossip in Gospel ...
