Stockings — Mackenzie McKade

Where there's smoke, there's trouble.

Tempest Sky has forgotten how to stop running, but when her RV breaks down on the way to a huge Winter Craft Show, she has no choice. Repairs require cash. Getting it means setting up shop on the spot to sell her hand-blown glass.

It's not too surprising that one of Whispering Cove's finest has a problem with that. Behind the sexy cop's sizzling scrutiny, the truth is loud and clear. “Her kind” isn't welcome here.

Officer Leo Caan can smell trouble a mile away, and it's rolling off Miss Sky like the smoke from her RV's blown engine. The crowds gathering around her impromptu studio are a public nuisance. Privately, her sassy, bold sexiness is an uncomfortable surprise. If he didn't know better, he could swear he's attracted to the woman.

Yet every time they meet -- and clash -- it's like water on hot glass. Pure steam. And it's a clear signal for the town grandfathers to gear up for a little holiday matchmaking…

Warning: Get ready for an explosion of emotions between a by-the-book police officer and a secretive runaway masquerading as a gothic chick. They might be at odds, but that doesn't stop the sparks of their fiery passion from leading them down the same sensual path.
