What happens when the cute mountain man you
made out with in an ice fishing shack turns out to be your brother’s best
friend?
A whole lot of awkward, that’s what.
Maggie’s mind is reeling when she discovers the guy she became tangled up with at Marv’s Bait & Tackle isn’t a stranger like she thought.
The big snag: Sam and Maggie’s chemistry is hot enough to melt ice, which makes keeping their secret far more difficult than either expected.
Especially when one of them decides they want this arrangement to be more than just a catch and release.

Chapter 5
Suddenly, I hear Miles bellow, “There you are, Megan! Come
over here and meet my best buddy, Sam! He’s technically my boss at Tire Depot,
but I don’t like to remind him, or he
gets a big head.”
I turn to shake hands with whoever Miles is talking to, and suddenly,
I feel like I’ve been kicked in the nuts.
Or actually…the taint.
Yeah, this feeling right here…it’s too deep for a nut kick.
This panic-seizing, gut-twisting, body-tremoring attack overwhelming all my
senses has a taint kick written all over it.
Because I’m staring into the stunning blue eyes of my ice
fishing companion from the past two weekends.
“Sam, this is my baby sister, Megan, visiting us all the way
from Utah. Megan, this is my best friend, Sam.” Maggie’s smile falters with
recognition as Miles, her…brother—oh
fucking fuck, her brother—drapes his arm over her shoulder and smiles back
at me.
Like a moron, I instantly bring my beer to my lips and take
three slow glugs. Whatever I can do to avoid touching her outstretched hand
right now because I’m convinced the second I touch her in front of her brother,
Miles will know I’ve thought about her naked no less than nineteen times.
And now I’m thinking about
her naked again.
I nod stupidly and continue to chug my beer like a damn
college frat boy as Miles and Maggie watch me curiously. Finally, I pry the
cold glass from my lips long enough to give her a head nod.
A fucking head nod.
Only douchebags who call a girl basic would give a fucking
head nod.
I look down at where she’s still holding her hand out for me
to shake, and God help me, my traitorous
eyes scan the rest of her body at the same time. Her perfect round tits are
covered beneath this short black lace dress. It’s way too fucking dressy for
the likes of Pearl’s, but hell if she doesn’t look sexy. She’s wearing black plaid tights and little ankle boots with
a big ass heel that bring her up to my chin. I’d gotten used to her being at my
chest in her snow boots. The same boots
she was wearing when I kissed my best friend’s little sister in my fucking
fishing hut.
My mind instantly begins trying to remember everything I said
to Miles about his sister in his truck earlier. Jesus Christ, this is bad.
Suddenly, Maggie reaches out and forcefully grabs my hand to
shake. “Hi Sam, my friends call me Maggie. Miles is the only one who still
calls me Megan…even my parents say Maggie.
It’s nice to meet you…for the first
time.”
She’s talking slow, and I feel myself nodding with buggy eyes
as I attempt to swallow back the cotton in my mouth and ignore the sparks
shooting up my hand from her touch. “Nice to meet you for the first time, too.
How long have you been in town visiting?” Jesus
hell, I sound like a robot on acid.
Her dimple flashes when she realizes I’m not going to spill
the beans. “I just arrived a couple of hours ago.”
I unclench my jaw and belatedly realize we’re still shaking
hands. “Today?” I can’t help but say it as a question because where the fuck
has she been staying for the past week if Miles thinks she just got into town
today?
“Yes, I was visiting my boyfriend in his hometown on the East
Coast and decided to stay in Boulder for a few weeks before heading back to
Utah.”
My eyes are blinking, and I can’t stop them because my mind
is completely jumbled up right now. I can’t differentiate the lie from the
truth. Is she still with her boyfriend and was lying to me? Or did she tell me
the truth, and she’s lying to Miles?
This is why you don’t break
your own rules, Sammy. Girls with baggage are never easy.
