The moment I saw her, I knew. She'd be mine someday.

Of course the feeling wasn't mutual.

She was all sunshine and optimism ... I was burly, broken, and hell-bent on keeping my word.

Don't touch the girls. No matter how tempting.

And damn, how Julia tempted me.

It's been a year since I saw her, and things are different now, the trouble we faced in L.A. is behind us. Isn't it?

When I hear that she's up in Alaska, same as me, I know this is my chance.

I've done lots of terrible things in my life -- but I have only one regret.

I never told her how I truly feel.

I love her. And it's high time she knew.

Even if I have to kidnap her in order to make that happen.

I may represent everything she's running from, but I can be more than a ghost from the past.

I can be her future. Frankie Love writes filthy-sweet stories about bad boys and mountain men. As a thirty-something mom who is ridiculously in love with her own bearded hottie, she believes in love-at-first-sight and happily-ever-afters. She also believes in the power of a quickie.
