Alchemy Unfolding

♥♥♥ A spicy, second-chance romance involving a free spirit, a drool-worthy single dad, his precocious six-year-old daughter, and a healthy dose of holiday magic. ♥♥♥ Poppy: I loved Dylan, but he left anyway. He snuck away in the middle of the night without saying goodbye, and he never returned. Sounds like the latest country song, right? Wrong. It was the abrupt end to the biggest love my heart ever knew. Even now, ten years later, I think about Dylan. Is he healthy? Happy? Sexy and delectable? Imagine my surprise when I move to a small Montana village and am greeted by the mayor, aka the love of my life. To answer that last question, the term delectable doesn't do Dylan justice. Only one obstacle to our joyous reunion. He hates me. At least that's what I thought...until he kissed me, upending any semblance of normalcy in my world. The feelings between us still burn hot, but my heart can't handle another round with Disappearing Dylan. I also can't stay away from him. Dylan: My biggest life regret was leaving Poppy ten years ago. I never even told her goodbye. But she was the ultimate free spirit, and I needed to grow up and join the real world. So I left her-and my heart-in the California desert, returning home to my tiny Montana town. Time moved on, and I thought I had, too. Until that fateful morning when I went to greet our town's newest resident and discovered my past just caught up to my present. Now, she's under my skin, just like a decade earlier, sexier and feistier than ever before. I want nothing more than to make her mine, but I doubt a single father holds much appeal for a woman like Poppy. There's only one solution-I can't let her near my heart again. But even I know that's a moot idea. Poppy has owned my heart all along.
