Garner Brothers

The Garner brothers are poster boys for the ski resort town of Glory Junction, California. But as much as they love outdoor thrills, they know how to create indoor thrills, too . . . Colt Garner thrives on adrenaline. As Glory Junction's police chief and the co-owner of Garner Adventure, he knows where to find danger and excitement. Unfortunately, his new neighbor, fussy, transplanted city girl Delaney Scott, is anything but a thrill, even if she is as gorgeously curved as a killer ski slope. They have nothing in common but a shared driveway they're arguing over . . . and a mutual attraction neither of them can fight. Starting over was not in designer Delaney's plans. But now that her rotten ex has walked away with the rights to her brand, she needs to reinvent herself, and fast. It's not easy with bold, brash Colt next door, too handsome for his own good, and, she's sure, too unreliable for hers. But as small town life throws them together again and again, Colt and Delaney find that simple romance may be the most exhilarating gamble of all . . .

The smart and sexy Garner brothers have turned Glory Junction into California's hottest extreme sports town-and a thrilling adventure of the heart is always part of the deal . . . The savvy CEO behind his family's outdoor sporting empire, TJ Garner has his choice of women. But the only one he wants is way out of bounds. Deb Bennett has been his brother Win's on and off girl since they were teenagers. And Deb's still waiting for Win to quit fooling around and realize she's The One . . . Deb carves the ski slopes and rides the rapids like a champion-it's getting her every day life in order that's the real challenge. When she turns to Win's big brother for financial advice, TJ spontaneously offers the hard-working waitress an executive job at Garner Adventure. To Deb's surprise, the job is a blast-and so is working for TJ. She always knew he was a heartthrob, just like all the Garners, but he's charming and attentive too. Of course, given the choice between him and Win there's no contest-or is there? . . .

Sexy, smart, and exciting, the Garner brothers have made Glory Junction, California, the country's top extreme sports town-but there's no shortage of thrills wherever they go... Darcy Wallace may be an employee at Garner Adventure, but the kind of excitement she's looking for is more of the indoor variety. After a sexless marriage and a painful divorce, who better to help her get her groove back than the hottest player in town-Win Garner himself. There's just one flaw in her seduction plan: he won't cooperate. Win is used to being the pursuer, so when Darcy turns the tables it throws him off his game-at first. Not that he isn't tempted, he's just trying to change his ways. Yet when he and Darcy are paired up for a work project there's no avoiding the tension between them-or the fact that they make an indomitable team. Soon, Win begins to feel their connection is no game. This could be the real thing. And one no-strings-attached night together just might seal the deal...
