As the shape came closer, she realized it wasn’t Bigfoot—because he
doesn’t exist—she reminded herself. It was also not a bear. Her vision finally
focused on a large gray horse. Not only a horse, but a rider, too.
The clouds in the night sky dissipated, allowing the moonlight to shine
down into the woods. Kayla’s heart skipped a beat as the two towered over her.
The man sat upon the horse like a warrior of olden days. Long, dark hair
fluttered about his face in the wind—sharp, high cheekbones, a smooth, square
jawline, and thick, dark brows pressed down over a pair of deep, warm brown
eyes.
“Hello.”
His voice rumbled over her like a warm blanket. What she wouldn’t give
for a warm blanket right now.
“Do you need some help?”
She hesitated at his question, staring into his eyes. They looked so
kind and trusting, but a man’s eyes had deceived her before. Until two days
ago, David’s eyes had always been normal; sure, the guy had given off the
jerkwad vibe at times, but she never suspected the evil hidden behind those
eyes. Was this man the same? Could she trust those eyes?
Did she really have a choice?
No. She had no idea where she was and was literally freezing. Yes, she
needed help. The only question, would this man be her salvation…or her
downfall?
BLURB:
Falsely
accused of the murder of her best friend, Kayla Jenkins is on the run for her
life. She ends up lost in dark, snowy woods off some backcountry road in the
middle of nowhere. Frightened and colder than she’s ever been in her life, she
almost thinks she’s hallucinating when a warrior on a white steed saves her.
In all
his years as the sheriff of Peak Town, Colorado, Jake Ryder has never come
across a half-frozen woman alone in the woods. She’s terrified…and lying to
him, yet something about her calls to him on a primal level.
Even with
her trust of law enforcement lower than the harsh temperature, Kayla finds it
difficult to keep her secrets hidden from the kind and far too handsome
sheriff. But as her faith in Ryder grows, she not only risks the real murderer
finding her, but losing the one thing she has searched for her whole life and
only just found…love.
