Wolf on Thin Ice — Ann Macela

Linda Rebane has achieved her life-long goal of running the family business, Rebane Renovations. She's about to begin a major project -- when the old structure mysteriously burns. She doesn't let the catastrophe slow her down, however, not when new business drops into her lap. Corporate wolf Mike Stratford, architect and president of WIN Construction, needs an old apartment building rehabbed. Because this won't be his usual new-from-the-ground-up undertaking, he chooses Rebane to do the work. In the background lurks his idea of corporate expansion -- taking over her company, with or without her approval. Neither expects the scorching attraction between them in the middle of a freezing Minnesota winter. Do opposites really attract? She with her lively sense of humor and habit of making decisions on the fly, and he with his serious need for extensive planning before action. She's thinking fling. He's thinking forever. Neither expects the villains either, who want both her vacant property and his old building. That turns out to be the least of their worries, however. When Linda discovers Mike's ulterior motive, how can she even consider a tomorrow with him -- much less forever?
