Winter Gifts — Kelliea Ashley

Winter Gifts Changing Seasons Book One Word Count: 59,508 A blizzard, a hunky chef, and an accident-prone milkmaid, ingredients for a passionate fling, or a recipe for a blazing romance, hot enough for a lifetime of winters? When Maxine Grant finds herself out in the freezing rain of a winter storm, an unlikely hero comes to her rescue. Brice Vanzetti is not only a moody Hunky chef, he's the owner of a new black Lexus sporting a red scratch on the bumper. A red that perfectly matches Jilly, her beloved car. Maxine isn't looking for a knight in shining armor, but is it too much to ask that he comes with a sense of humor along with the hot, hard body? Brice already has a lot on his plate just keeping his restaurant running. He doesn't have the time to deal with a woman who drives a rust bucket and doesn't know when to come in out of the icy rain. She may have left a mark on his car, but Brice is determined she won't put a dent in his resolve to remain a bachelor. No matter how sexy she looks when she's mad! Forced to seek shelter together in his house, more heats up than Brice's hot chocolate! Stormed in with nowhere to go, Brice and Maxine can keep their differences between them, or give in to the sensual heat and accept the gifts winter has bestowed upon them.
