The tumultuous conclusion of this epic love story between an American cowboy and a British world champion figure skater.

Sophia’s gone on tour; Aaron’s stuck in Cumbria, helping winterize his Great Aunt Ida’s place on his grandfather’s dime.

He won’t go home till near Thanksgiving, now …if then.

When Sophia takes a fall while skating in Beijing, though, Aaron’s there for her.

Then she kicks him to the curb.

He’s just too stubbornly ‘country’—a complete ‘stick in the mud’—and she’s determined that, ice career over, she’s going to live ‘life to the full’.

And does.

For awhile.

When the man responsible for shattering her dream of fame on ice disparages her on the tele-, Sophia vows to get even and make a comeback.

To do it, she needs Aaron’s Ice Queen plan, and she sets out to get it.

Much to Aaron’s displeasure, Sophia drops back into his life like a bad penny, stirring resentment and lots of old feelings.

Yes, he loves her.

Why can’t she leave him alone?

But she won’t and doesn’t.

Sophia is a winner, and she’ll win at any cost, but, this time, Aaron refuses to succumb.

As far as he’s concerned, their relationship is over.

Little does he know just how far Sophia will go to reclaim what’s hers, especially when she finally realizes that, yes, she loves him ‘just for him, as he is, for who he is’, and then some.

CLEAN, SAFE READING

This book contains no profanity, no graphic sex, nothing to make you want to hide your eyes. This novel is just pure entertainment in good taste. There’s tenderness and intimacy, there's a domestic battle, and a woman-on-man indiscretion, but nothing cringe-worthy, and, yes, there's situational humor (‘humour’ to you Brits), but it’s all General Audience.

NO AI CONTENT, GUARANTEED. This is all original work by D. L. Keur and Carole Hill.
