FAMILY SECRETS

When Lainie Hamilton checked into the Silver Pines Lodge, she wasn't interested in hiking through the Oregon woods or splashing over white-water rapids. She had come here to sort out family business, a secret that had unraveled just before her brother Danny was killed in a motorcycle accident. And though a sports resort was hardly her choice for a vacation, Lainie planned to stay until she fulfilled Danny's last wish.

From the moment Lainie arrived, resort owner Matt Wilbourne knew she was not the run-of-the-mill guest. The beautiful redhead had a barrage of questions, a fear of the river, and a mysterious aura. Why was this delicate, lovely woman subjecting herself to the rigors of a sports resort in the wilderness?

Lainie's true motive was a secret, which she would have to guard carefully from a blue-eyed, sweet-talking, river-rafting man like Matt Wilbourne. But each encounter with Matt left her heart racing, her emotions soaring. His penetrating eyes seemed to read her feelings and desires. Did he see how she longed to touch his silvery hair? How she wanted to be held in his strong arms? And worst of all, did he know that she had come here to spy on him?
