“Well, let me just say I’m looking forward to it.” She smiled and pulled his mouth back down to hers.

Seattle Steam, Book 3

Allison Siegel is out to stop a wedding. With one of her best childhood friends about to marry a gold-digger, who wouldn’t at least try to stage an intervention? Apparently, her other childhood bestie, Clint.

The minute Allie grew out of her sneakers and into her curves, Clint’s hormones went ballistic. But she had eyes only for Ken, so Clint made himself scarce, even after the relationship fizzled. Now she’s back, looking better than ever—and hell-bent on sabotaging Ken’s wedding. So Clint knows he needs to do whatever it takes to head her off at the pass.

Kidnapped! Allison can't believe it. Now she’s stuck in the Montana backwoods fending off nature’s friends, and fighting a losing battle to resist Clint—the sexiest forest ranger on the planet.

Clint has big plans for Allie. Not only will he convince a city girl that she needs to embrace her inner nature freak, but he's going to prove there's sparks flying in more places than just the campfire.

Warning: This book contains a city girl out of her element, a forest ranger determined to keep her there, and a campfire seduction hot enough to melt more than just marshmallows.



Enjoy the following excerpt for Seducing Allie:

Allison climbed out of her car and faced the front of Burnham’s Seafood restaurant, her pulse quickening. Maybe she shouldn’t be here…should’ve taken the hint when she’d tried to call Kenneth and his number had been changed.

Or maybe the fact you weren’t even invited to his wedding.

But damn it this was wrong. They were friends. What was going on with Kenneth?

She lifted her chin and hurried up the steps, holding her head high as the doorman opened the door for her.

“Thank you,” she murmured and stepped past him into the air-conditioned building, smoothing the skirt of her red dress down.

The interior of the upscale dining spot was dark with hardwood floors and mahogany tables spread about. She scanned the room until she found what she was looking for. The private room in the back.

Fortunately there were windows, and she could see the small party gathered inside. Fifteen, maybe twenty people. Most likely just friends and family of the Williams.

“Excuse me, ma’am, do you have a reservation?”

Allison jerked her gaze back to the waif-like-model in front of her. Hmm. Maybe it would be good to get a table first, then find the perfect moment to launch the meeting.

“Actually, I don’t. My fiancé suggested meeting here for dinner tonight,” she lied, tilting her head to give a hesitant smile. “You wouldn’t happen to have a table available, would you?”

“Hmm.” The hostess glanced down at the podium in front of her. “I think we can accommodate that. A table for two?”

“That would be wonderful. Thank you.”

“Did you want to wait for your fiancé, or—?”

“If you don’t mind, I think I’ll wait at the table. He’s notorious for being late.”

“All right,” the hostess nodded and stepped away from the podium. “Follow me.”

The hostess led her to a small table where a floating candle lay flickering in the middle. Allison sat down and took the menu she was handed.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Your waiter will be with you shortly.”

Once the hostess disappeared, Allison raised the menu in front of her just high enough to cover all of her face except her eyes.
