Synopsis

SWEET WITH FAITH
14 Days, 3 rules each, 1 kiss…

With the Grand Opening of the Blue Sky Lodge two months away, Beau West agrees to help his brother, Clay prepare for the big day. When he meets the beautiful new activities director at the first staff meeting, Beau wastes no time letting her know he’s interested. To his shock and amusement, she’s less than impressed.

Even though Maisie Ellison secretly thinks the contractor is handsome, hardworking, and hilarious, she does her best to keep him at arm’s length. With a new job, a sick father to provide for, and a couple of bad relationships in her rearview, his fast-moving, smooth-talking ways are the last thing she needs distracting her.

Convinced he can change her mind, Beau proposes a game. For fourteen days he’ll help her vet the activities that the lodge will be offering to the families. During that time, if she can resist falling for him and initiating a kiss, he’ll leave her alone.

Ignoring him is harder than she thinks it will be, and it doesn’t take long before the rules of the game and their baggage from past relationships complicate everything. As they get deeper into each other they realize they both have a lot more to lose—and a lot more to win—than just the game.

In book two of the four book Blue Sky series, return to the small town of Blue Sky, Montana for more from the West family as Beau and Maisie experience the power of faith and forgiveness and find out how great it feels to win at love.
