Next in Line

Maggie has flown to Colorado to stay with her older brother, Miles, after a bad breakup with the man she expected to marry. She wants adventure, new experiences and some comfort from a brother who worries about her too much.

What she gets instead is a heated make-out session in an ice fishing shack at Marv's Bait & Tackle with a mountain man whose hands are the biggest she has ever seen. She assumes he is a stranger. He is not.

The man is Sam, Miles's best friend, and Maggie has never met him. Once they both know, they agree to keep the truth from Miles and the rest of the friend group, because telling it could cause a serious rift.

The trouble is the pull between them. Hiding it proves much harder than either expected, and one of them starts to want more from the arrangement than a casual fling.

This is a contemporary romance with a comic streak, built on a friend's-sister setup and a secret kept in a small circle of friends. It is book 2 in the Wait With Me series and works as a standalone.
