Excerpt:
Hope couldn’t believe it, but she readily reached out and put her
hand in his. “Then I guess this place is
aptly named.”
Beckett carefully pulled her to her feet. “What do you mean?”
“I saw some of the signs as I was walking down the driveway
earlier. This place used to be called
Winter Park. If the view is how you
described, I’m just saying that name is fitting.”
Beckett didn’t respond, but he did pull her in close. “You scared the hell out of me earlier, you
know that right?” His arms slowly slid
around her waist.
Hope’s breath caught in her throat.
“I didn’t mean to scare you,” she said softly, looking up into his dark
eyes.
“I know. You meant to piss
me off,” he chuckled softly as one hand came up to caress her cheek. “I’m glad I found you.”
“Me too. I can’t even being
to think what would have happened if you hadn’t come when you did.”
“That’s not what I meant,” he said quietly, and bent his head
toward hers.
“Beckett…”
And then his lips touched hers and silenced her. Hope was too surprised to react at
first. It was everything that she
remembered – soft, exciting and very arousing.
The man certainly knew how to kiss.
As if they had a mind of their own, her arms came up and rested on
Beckett’s broad shoulders. They were
pressed together from head to toe.
His lips were slowly sipping from hers as if he was giving her time
to say no or to push him away. Hope knew
this instinctively and raked a hand up into his hair and pulled him closer-
making sure he couldn’t misinterpret her decision.

Synopsis:
“Moonlight in Winter Park” – A modern-day Beauty and the Beast
style Christmas.
All Hope Cooper needed this year was to have the kind of Christmas
her family always cherished. But with her parents gone and her only brother
having to work, it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out for her. There’s
nothing she can do about her parents, but she most certainly can voice her
annoyance at her brother’s boss for making him work out of town all through the
holidays.
Beckett James hates the holidays and everything that goes with
them. They were important at one time, but now the only thing that mattered was
his company and it’s continued growth and anyone who worked for him better feel
the same way. If not, then they could find employment elsewhere and good
riddance. With a major expansion deal on the line, Beckett needs to focus. What
he doesn’t need is Hope to come barging into his mountain retreat demanding
that her brother come home immediately due to an emergency.
Suddenly it’s two alone in a snowstorm. Two alone for Christmas.
And two alone to fight an attraction that had been there all along. Hope soon
begins to realize she may have misjudged Beckett while he comes to see that
there really is something special and magical about Christmas. But once they
leave their private winter wonderland and return to their normal lives, will
the magic still be there?
