Embracing the Fall
When small-town police officer, Johnathan Reed, comes crashing from the sky into her remote country home wrecking part of her property and jeopardizing her livelihood, Aribella Corday can't believe her terrible luck. The last thing she needs is a cop hanging around, snooping into her business and potentially discovering the secret of her illicit side-job operation-even if he does have a body built for sin and a smile to die for. All Johnathan Reed wanted was a brief, adrenaline-fueled escape from the memories of his failed relationship and the traumas that haunt him from the past. What he gets is a day of off-duty Good Samaritan work cleaning up the mess he created for the pretty, fiery-spirited owner of the property he crash-landed into who refuses to let him off the hook without getting what she wants. When a blizzard hits, trapping them together, it's only a matter of time before Johnathan discovers the guilty secret that Aribella's been keeping, finding himself pulled deeper into her life than he ever could have expected. The question is, can they keep their cool amid the heat of their connection? Or will they lose their cool and find an alternate way to keep warm during the storm, allowing themselves to embrace the fall they never saw coming?
