Love on the Risky Side
by Mariah Ankenman
BLURB:
Falsely accused of the murder of her
best friend, Kayla Jenkins is on the run for her life. She ends up lost in
dark, snowy woods off some backcountry road in the middle of nowhere.
Frightened and colder than she’s ever been in her life, she almost thinks she’s
hallucinating when a warrior on a white steed saves her.
In all his years as the sheriff of
Peak Town, Colorado, Jake Ryder has never come across a half-frozen woman alone
in the woods. She’s terrified…and lying to him, yet something about her calls
to him on a primal level.
Even with her trust of law
enforcement lower than the harsh temperature, Kayla finds it difficult to keep
her secrets hidden from the kind and far too handsome sheriff. But as her faith
in Ryder grows, she not only risks the real murderer finding her, but losing
the one thing she has searched for her whole life and only just found…love.

Excerpt:
She
had to solve this problem on her own. “It’s not safe.”
“I’m
the sheriff of this town. It’s my job to handle dangerous situations.”
Still
pinned against his chest, she felt the hard edges of his muscles, such a
contrast to his comforting hold. The strong beat of his heart beating against
her back settled her own into a synchronized rhythm.
Her
breath caught in her throat, but not from fear this time. “But I’m not a part
of this town. You have no obligation to help me. You don’t even know me.”
Silence.
Just
when she thought she’d gotten through to him, that he was going to let her
leave, his voice came as a soft, sensual caress. Dark, like chocolate, and just
as tempting.
“I
know it’s crazy, but there’s a part of me that feels like I’ve known you
forever. Like I’ve been waiting for you. There’s something between us, don’t
deny it. I know you feel it, too.”
She
sucked in a sharp breath. Yes, she did feel it. She hadn’t realized he did. It
was crazy and unexpected, but it was there. A connection apparently neither
could deny. It terrified her even as it thrilled her. Unfortunately, this whole
thing made her situation that much harder.
