Book Description:
Technical
analyst Rachel Grant arrives in Sunderland
intent on tidying up her grandmother’s cottage, but the disaster she discovers
requires more than a gentle sweep of a dust rag. Determined to please the most
important person in her life, she trades her computer keyboard for a hammer and
nails to make the repairs. She doesn’t count on the chilly reception from the
locals who want to claim Nan ’s home as their
own.
Tour guide
Aidan Camden wants to buy the cottage. He’s determined to acquire the property
no matter how attractive he finds the current occupant. However, when tragedy
strikes, throwing them both into a tailspin, he discovers he wants more than
the house. He longs for the sexy American as well. Can Aidan put his own ghosts
to rest in time to save the woman who’s claimed his heart?
Excerpt:
“A bit of a
disappointment, I expect.” A rich, deep voice with a twinge of an English
accent drifted from behind her.
She whirled
around. Her hair whipped against her cheeks and made her wish for the hundredth
time today she hadn’t packed all her hair clips.
“Sorry. I
didn’t mean to frighten you.”
The stranger
paused beside the edge of the clearing, and her heart stuttered. Although no
one would mistake him for a Hollywood
“That’s okay.
You didn’t.” She permitted her gaze to wander over him.
He kept his
hands stuffed into the front pockets of faded jeans. The wind tore at his gray
long-sleeved shirt, outlining the contours of a well-defined chest. Unruly
light brown hair touched his collar. High cheekbones accented his deep-set
eyes. Not friendly eyes, but no threat lay behind them either, at least none
she could uncover.
He pulled a
hand from his pocket and held it out. “Aidan Camden of Dawson Tours, your
neighbor from across the water.” He tipped his head toward the way he’d come.
His fingers
warmed her skin, his grip strong and confident. Awareness trailed along her
arm. Then again, it could be the accent that made her skin tingle. British
accents never failed to stir her emotions.
A trace of a
smile danced on his lips. “Aye, the American.”
Huh. “You know of me?”
A low rumble
of laughter slipped from his mouth, the sound relaxing her from deep within.
“Word travels fast here. I saw you paddling your way out.”
Paddling? No, he’d seen her fighting with the
oars. Until today, she’d never set foot on a boat, much less held an oar. But
she would consider swimming across the Atlantic Ocean
if it would make Nan happy.
“Tell me, Mr.
Camden, are you in the habit of following foreigners?”
“No, lass, but
you’re all the talk of the Roker area. The mighty Grant descendant, come to see
about selling the family cottage.”
Selling?
