The men she met were often captivated by her reputation or wealth, but none had ever captured her heart. Seeking inspiration for her newest series, Alexandria rented a charming stone chateau overlooking a renowned alpine ski resort.

The scenery was magnificent, but that afternoon her concentration shattered when a sudden shout echoed across the slope. Looking up, she spotted a skier careening wildly off course.

Even sitting in a snowbank looking embarrassed, he was remarkably handsome. Their eyes met, and something unexpected fluttered inside her chest. "I'm Alexandria," she said, offering a hand. He smiled as he accepted it. For the first time in years, Alexandria found herself hoping fate had sent more than inspiration to the mountains...
