The Winter Hearts — Marjorie Burrows

SMOLDERING FIRES OF DESIRE

A sudden act of violence forced Meg to flee from her home in Cross Creek and seek refuge in a secluded cabin high in the mountains, protected by two ranchers she barely knew.

The ruggedly handsome Jed Turner was cool and remote, and his partner warned Meg to stay away from him -- that he carried the scars of a past he could share with no one. Yet, alone in the quiet snowy wilderness Meg knew she had fallen in love with Jed.

In just one unguarded moment, he caught Meg's tender glance, and all the suppressed longing that smoldered in the lonely hideaway ignited in flames of unbridled desire. And in the raging fury of love's passion, their hearts bonded with a strength that not even treachery, jealousy, or violence could destroy.
