Christmas wedding bells are ringing!
Everyone in Royal, Texas, now knows former special agent Gabe Walsh’s connection to the blackmailer terrorizing the town. And Gabe’s suddenly guilty by association. Worst thing is, Chelsea Hunt blames him for the compromising photos of her that everyone’s talking about. But since he and Chelsea are planning the Christmas wedding of their best friends, Gabe has many opportunities to show the sexy cowgirl just what a good guy he really is. And apparently he’s pretty convincing, because she soon winds up in his bed! But is this just a holiday fling or the real thing?
“You came here to tell me that we’re going to bed?” Chelsea asked.
“I came here to tell you that I’m backing off,” Gabe said. “I’m respecting the fact that you’re torn up about everything that’s happened and that’s why you’re avoiding me. I don’t want to make things more difficult, especially with our best friends getting married.”
Chelsea opened her mouth, then closed it.
“Speechless?” he asked with a slight grin. “That wasn’t the reaction I expected.”
“What did you expect?”
“Well, you didn’t slam the door in my face, so I’m already a step above where I thought I’d be.”
She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from smiling, but failed.
“And a sexy grin? Hell, I better leave while I’m ahead.”
Chelsea took a step back. As much as her body wanted to invite him in, she also had to be smart.
No one had ever tempted her the way Gabe Walsh had.
