Montana Mavericks

An excelent read. These two people Darcy and Mark two lost souls who both are hiding something from the past. Yet the past will catch up the them. They both live in the same apartment complex yet nothing has happened until now. She invites him over for Thanksgiving which I really liked. From there things get a little hotter between the two. But soon things start to turn where he starts to question wheather he can trust her. But he can trust her he's just to afraid to do anything about it. The Thanksgiving scene is the one I love the most she invited all these people then its just the two of them and what ends up happening they got at it. I had to laugh.

Highly recommended

Living in Montana, waitress Darcy Montague doesn't give Detective Mark Kincaid the same response to his dark, scowling looks that he'd come to expect from the scum of New York. Despite the fact that she's his neighbor, Mark tries to avoid Darcy's cheer and maternal fussing. Then he surprises himself by accepting her Thanksgiving Day dinner invitation. When when all the other guests cancel, Mark finds them dining alone. Perhaps his mind wants to distance from others, but his body needs human contact. Spontaneous combustion does the rest.Five years without a man's touch leaves Darcy likewise with a need to connect. Selfless devotion to her brother's well-being requires nonstop effort to meet his costly tuition, leaving her little time or energy for her own needs. Further, experience has taught Darcy to keep her brother a secret. Usually when men learn of the boy, realizing he will always be somewhat dependant on Darcy, they disappear. For once Darcy wants to treasure this delicate relationship without risking his disappearance. Unfortunately, her secrets leave the detective suspicious, reminding him of other deceptive secrets in the past.Susan Mallery demonstrates her wonderful skill for creating dazzling characters in CHRISTMAS IN WHITEHORN. Dark and brooding Mark suffers from betrayal and disillusionment. Having stared in the dark side of human nature too long, Mark needs a heroine like Darcy, whose selfless giving and generosity of spirit sharply contrast with his gloomy disposition. A sparkling Christmas story that brings light and love to all the cold winter months, CHRISTMAS IN WHITEHORN comes highly recommended.
