Six Foot Hero
Sometimes a woman needs a hero.
Nicole Dahl has some hard decisions to make. Trapped by a job and the troubling attentions of a mentor, she breaks free temporarily on an Alaskan vacation. Once there, instead of the soul-searching and relaxation she'd planned, she meets Logan Schafer, a man who erases her loneliness with his strong, skilled hands.
Logan is mesmerized by Nicole's emerald eyes and beguiling sense of innocence, but he knows their pasts spell trouble for any hope of a future together. He has a prior claim to deal with once and for all, and Nicole's so-called mentor is a much bigger threat than she realizes.
Will Nicole let him be her hero?
Excerpt
Eyes focused solely on hers, Logan asked, “Anybody seen my bride? I hear there’s a rehearsal warming up in the drawing room.” He moved toward her, his gait slow, predatory, thrilling… just like a great cat on the prowl for dinner.
Nicole’s heart slammed into her ribs. Time, distance, anger… none of it mattered. She always reacted physically to him when he came near. How many arguments had he won just by kissing her?
Six endless days it had been since she’d left him at his father’s house—after three interminable days of constant arguing. A tiny part of her—a very tiny part—was almost ready to admit that maybe she was being just a tad childish in holding onto her anger. When he’d arrived at the inn this morning, it had been all she could do not to throw herself into his arms. Even now, as the sun began its late afternoon descent toward the hills on the other side of the valley, her blood began to warm. She desperately wanted to stay focused on her fury, but her skin longed to feel his touch, the reassuring strength of his arms holding her close. Clenching her jaw, she cursed her body for being a traitor.
Despite her resolve, she couldn’t help but notice how incredibly handsome he looked. Wearing all black, his jeans fit just right. Snug where they were meant to be snug, loose where they were meant to be loose, defining the long lean lines of muscles moving with unconscious grace. His short-sleeved linen shirt, open at the neck, showed just enough smooth tanned skin to make her fingers twitch, longing to feel his warmth. Damp black curls brushed his collar as if he had just stepped from the shower. Deep blue eyes exuded love and desire through long dark lashes. He knew the power of his sexy smile on her and used it to advantage whenever possible. Determined to keep a straight face and cling to her rage, she met his gaze with her eyes narrowed, warning, perhaps even challenging him.
Robert came forward to slap Logan on the back with a wink for her. “If you can’t keep better track of your woman, I may try and steal her from you.”
With a small sigh, she closed her eyes. He wasn’t much better than his son about letting her stay in a bad mood for long.
An older version of Logan, Robert had thick silver hair and still-dark brows. Had she been attracted to older men, he would have been devastating. Father and son, side by side, were nearly overwhelming. Then again, they were both guilty of the same crime. Somehow Robert’s fatherly attitude reduced the magnitude of his part. He may have omitted a few facts, but he hadn’t out and out lied.
Nicole opened her eyes with renewed determination. Logan would not sweep away her feelings in a tide of physical desire. Not this time. His actions had been out of line and he would answer for them.
Smiling for the benefit of her father-in-law-to-be and his friends, she put her small hand in Logan’s strong one, and slowly rose to her feet.
“Don’t worry, darling,” she purred. “I won’t disappear on you until just before the ceremony. It’s no fun to leave the groom standing at the altar during the rehearsal.” Fluttering eyelashes underscored her biting sarcasm and saccharine smile.
As usual, Logan ignored her sass and wrapped both arms around her, tucking her head under his chin. “Guess I’d better keep you close until after the preacher pronounces us man and wife tomorrow.”
The rush of yearning she felt from his body heat and the fresh scent of his citrus shower gel nearly shook her knees out from under her. Cradling her head to his shoulder, he held her gently, making her feel priceless and treasured.
“And then I’ll keep you closer still.”
