BLURB
When fellow Californians Whitney
Spencer and Connor Rivers meet in the most unlikely of places—on the Camino
pilgrimage in Spain—they fall head first into a brief, impassioned love affair.
But Whitney’s on her way back to her career in San Francisco, and Connor is a
world traveler whose restless spirit has yet to be captured by anyone.
Tragedy strikes and Connor is
called home to help his siblings run the family business, the Rivers Paradise
Resort. Yet the adventurer inside him hasn’t gone away; in fact, his wanderlust
is on the verge of destroying his family’s fragile stability.
After Whitney’s career brings her
to Connor’s resort, the sparks between them flare. Will her reappearance be
enough to tame him? Can their love be enough, or are they destined for another
gut-wrenching goodbye?

EXCERPT
I’m waiting for the
elevator, wondering if I should ask the front desk for restaurant suggestions
or just find a place on my own. Then the doors open to reveal someone standing
inside.
My
lips part in surprise. Connor does a double take, then gives me a slow, slow
smile.
Umm….
okay. This is a whole new ballgame now.
“We
meet again,” he says, still smiling. My estrogen starts flowing at the sight of
that smile and those eyes. I couldn’t stop it now if I tried.
“Hello again.” I step into the elevator. He looks—and smells—freshly bathed as well and I have a sudden vision of him naked in a tub. God. Between that and the fact that there’s apparently no escaping this guy, I completely forget why I was trying to escape him to start with.
“Hello again.” I step into the elevator. He looks—and smells—freshly bathed as well and I have a sudden vision of him naked in a tub. God. Between that and the fact that there’s apparently no escaping this guy, I completely forget why I was trying to escape him to start with.
The
doors slide closed with a soft thud and the little space grows even smaller. I
don’t stand too close, but I certainly would’ve stood farther away if I’d never
met him before. The car begins its downward journey and my stomach swoops more
than usual.
We
start giving each other that wondering look
from before. He’s still smiling, and there’s a smile teasing the corners of my
mouth too. In spite of being freshly bathed, he didn’t shave. He still has that
cute scruff on his jaw.
“You’re
staying here, too?” I ask.
He
turns toward me a bit and leans one shoulder against the back wall. Oh man.
Just like when he turned toward me at the table, this little movement makes
things feel more familiar. But this time it’s just us. In this little box. I
like it. “I heard this is the best place for the weary Camino pilgrim.”
I
adjust slightly so I can lean against the wall as well. I really can’t help it.
Because it seems like this is the moment we’ve been building to all along.
“That’s what the guidebooks say anyway.”
“Do
they?”
“Don’t
you have a guidebook?” The car already starts to slow, dammit. I don’t want to
walk away this time. I want to linger awhile.
“I’m
not the guidebook type,” he answers, as we come to a stop. “I’d rather just ask
around. But I think we have more important matters to discuss.”
The
elevator dings and the doors open. Neither one of us moves. My heart is
thumping in anticipation. “Do we?”
“Yes.
You’re about to go your way and I’m about to go mine, but clearly the universe
thinks we need to talk some more.”
Thump, thump, thump. Now it’s my turn to give a
slow smile. “The universe, huh?”
“Okay.”
He grins. “It’s me. I think we should talk more.”
