      Melting His Heart

      Cash Coble is desperate for a change. After working in the family business for ten years, he’s stressed out and overworked. When he heads to Colorado to visit his ailing grandfather, he finds his mood lifted by the beautiful woman living next door. After a troubled past, ice climber Taryn Purcell isn’t looking for love. Especially not with a charming Texan who’s consumed by work. But there’s something about Cash that captures her heart. Never one to back down from a challenge, Taryn promises to show Cash how to carve out a happy life—one that includes her.

      He stared at the woman. “Taryn?”

      Eyes that striking were hard to forget. Even though she’d been only a kid the last time he’d seen her.

      “That’s me.” She shifted from one foot to the other, tucking her short, golden-brown hair behind her ear.

      “Wow. I haven’t seen you since you were what…twelve?”

      She wrinkled her nose. “Try seventeen.”

      Way to go, Coble. “Sorry.” He glanced at the tray in his hand. “Something sure smells good. This wouldn’t be for Gramps, would it?”

      “It is.”

      He couldn’t help grinning. “Well, darlin’, allow me to assist you then.”

      Her smile evaporated. “Suit yourself.” Turning on her heel, she advanced up the wooden steps, leaving Cash to wonder if he’d offended her with the age remark.

      “I thought I heard voices out here.” Gramps held the storm door wide. “Smells like you’ve been baking again, young lady.”

      Pink tinged Taryn’s cheeks. “It’s almost Valentine’s Day, Mr. Jenkins. Lots of people are baking.”

      Cash focused on the girl who had once followed him and her brother all over Ouray. “Beautiful and a great cook. That ought to make some man very happy one day.”

       Chapter One

      He didn’t want to be here.

      Eyeing the snow-laden peaks that spread in every direction, Cash Coble tightened his grip on the steering wheel of his rented SUV and slowly navigated the hairpin turns leading into Ouray. He’d reeled in two new dealers over the past two weeks and, thanks to a new manufacturing plant, business at Coble Trailers showed no signs of slowing down.

      Meaning, Cash couldn’t afford to, either.
