Book excerpt: WILLING GROOM? Colin Slater arrived in Crimson Falls wearing a stylish suit and carrying a Wall Street Journal, and quickly discovered that the only thing interesting in town was his new partner, Scarlett Morgan. Sharing the long, northern nights made his "vacation" worthwhile, although they'd agreed to only a temporary fling. RELUCTANT PARTNER Scarlett had hoped for a silent investor to save her business—not a sexy hands-on workaholic. Colin's passionate kisses and powerful embrace were simply too enticing to resist, yet no matter how much she wanted him to charm her out of her flannels, she never expected to mix business with pleasure! Northern Lights Brides: Three women who'll do anything to get their men!
