It's New Year's Eve...and now or never for these two hearts When a woman with no faith in love meets the quintessential nice guy determined to breach her mile-high walls, sparks fly as both fight a decidedly unwelcome but equally unavoidable attraction. Steph Hargrove was a bombshell, a sexy, intrepid woman operating in the business world with guts, brains and daring. She was accustomed to going after whatever she wanted until a man she called friend betrayed her and the company she’d helped build—and nearly killed her in the process. Since that time, she’s been a shadow of the wild, wicked woman who’d carved a swath through her world. Gavin O’Neill is an artisan with wood, a gardener, a restorer of battered homes and a savior of strays. When first he meets the wounded woman who postures as invincible and worldly, the sadness in her eyes draws him even more than her lush figure does. However she insists otherwise, he sees that she needs the kindness and friendship he can give to her while he’s waiting for the woman of his dreams, who will be small and soft and sweet, different in every way from the woman he keeps returning to see. Yet while he’s not interested in the virago and she refuses to be nurtured, a potent attraction keeps them circling each other. And while they’re busy listing the reasons they’re unsuited, something powerful is growing between them. New Year’s Eve is for lovers and new beginnings…will these two stubborn souls take the risk?

Stanton I wasn’t known for my impulse control. Raised as an only child and best friends with my mother, I hadn’t heard the word no often in my life. One night changed that completely. I met a stranger who worked for my family’s company. One kiss and the beautiful man was gone, and I hadn’t stopped until I found him. The real challenge came when he turned me down because of my age, but to me, that didn’t matter. He was my boy, and I’d prove it to him. Beckett After a divorce, I was just trying to learn to live single again. I’d emotionally broken down outside my boss’s home, and a gorgeous young man had kissed me. The shock of that had me running. I hadn’t expected to see him again, but he arrived at my office, and with such confidence, he’d claimed I was his. He couldn’t be serious. Yet the more time I spent with him, the attraction became all-consuming, and the reasons to say no were becoming unimportant. Could I open myself to the possibility or would it be safer to protect myself from another mistake?
