SECOND CHANCE SUMMER
Cedar Ridge #1
by Jill Shalvis
a Contemporary Romance
from Grand Central Publishing Mass Market
Blurb
Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it's the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there's an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance . . .

EXCERPT
“Come here,” he said.
“I’m right here.”
“Closer.”
She
walked into his arms. He pulled her in and kissed her. He kissed her until he
knew he’d taken it as far as he could without tearing off that pretty sundress
right then and there, and only then did he lift his head.
“Oh,”
she breathed, staggering back a step, clearly trying to play it cool—which
might have worked if her eyes weren’t dilated and the pulse at the base of her
throat wasn’t going apeshit crazy.
He
gave a slow smile and pulled her back in, not hard for him to do, since she
already had a grip on his shirt like he was her lifeline and she was going down
for the count.
She
cleared her throat. “So you showed up all Captain America to save the day, and
now what? I jump into bed with you? Was that your plan?”
“Yeah,”
he said, “but in my version we didn’t talk this much.”
“A full-service rescue then,” she said evenly.
“A full-service rescue then,” she said evenly.
He tried a cajoling smile. “I’m really good at full
service.”
“Do you really think this is a good idea?”
He laughed softly and let his mouth brush over her
temple and then her ear, which caused her to shiver. “Of course it’s not a good
idea. Or we’d have gone for it already.
But sometimes the bad ideas turn out to be the best
ideas of all.”
“Yeah?” she asked. “Name one.”
“Bringing out your keys from the convenience store
after the postcard display demolition.”
She let out a soft laugh and fisted her hands in his
hair.
“So what now?
We really going to try this out?”
Were
they? He’d promised himself he wouldn’t give her a chance to devastate him
again. But somehow over the past few weeks he’d lost sight of keeping his heart
safe and moved onto wanting to heal her heart. “I’m game.”
She
hesitated so long he took a step back from her and prepared himself to leave.
But her hand came out and gripped his. “You’re wearing too many clothes,” she
said softly.
