Smoldering Embers

Welcome to Widow, Wisconsin, small-town U.S.A. Brice escaped as soon as he graduated and never looked back. But when his mother becomes ill, he's forced to return. Luckily, or not, Brice's college roommate has a job lined up for him â€" to turn a piece of forested land into a playground for the rich. The problem? Part of the property belongs to reclusive artist Serene Fremont…and she's not willing to sell it. Brice is confident he can still do his job. No woman has ever been able to resist his charm. How difficult could it be to seduce Serene out of her property? Neither Serene nor Brice are ready for the intense physical attraction between them. Brice doesn't believe in mixing business with pleasure. Serene is afraid of having her heart broken. And Brice isn't the only one interested in Serene. Someone is stalking her, hurting her pets and destroying her property. Can Brice protect someone who doesn't want to be protected? And what happens when the seducer unwittingly becomes the seduced?
