FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR ROXANNE BLACKHALL
Book one in the Bristol Park series
The only thing standing in the way of Cat renovating her late grandmother's inn is one annoying handyman. If only he wasn't so sexy.
Cat wants nothing more than to get away from her late husband's overbearing family. Discovering her grandmother left her the sole ownership of a family resort in the Catskills town of Abbeydon feels like a chance for a fresh start. Her dreams come face to face with cold hard reality when she sees the dilapidated condition of the place. She rolls up her sleeves and gets busy, with help from the local handyman, who is too hot and too charming for words. But Cat has no use for playboys like her late husband.
Nate happily ignores the attentions of the local ladies, that is, until this ice princess, city girl shows up and challenges his contented solitary state. He figures Cat's just gonna flip the property and get the hell out, but every time he thinks he's got her pegged, she proves there's more to her than he ever imagined, and it's not all icicles.
An epic snowstorm strands them at the house and their chemistry overwhelms their resolve to resist temptation and keep things strictly professional. Then a developer sets their sights on Abbeydon and Bristol Park, threatening to ruin the cozy charm of the town, and making Cat even more determined to rebuild. Costs are mounting, and when she discovers Nate has a connection to the developer, Cat will need to learn to trust to save both the property and their relationship.
