What would you do if you were given a second
chance at life and love?
On a mission to rid herself of her engagement ring, jilted attorney, Greer
Ivers, loses control of her vehicle in a freak snowstorm. She finds herself
awakening to a mind-blowing world and in the arms of a handsome man. The

days together in Caelan's world draws them closer in more ways than one and
feelings they are fated surface in the heat between them. With only a few days
until she must return, will they recognize risks are worth taking for true
love?
Excerpt:
She pulled up short when a man appeared from out of nowhere,
startling her. Jumping back, Greer stared, hoping she didn’t drool. Tall, dark
and handsome didn’t even begin to cover it. Craning her head back to look up
into his face, she realized he must have stood at least six and a half feet
tall with golden skin and a body to die for. He looked so hot in fact, she
could hear the sizzle from where she stood. His dark hair fell to just above
his broad shoulders, framing an exquisite face of chiseled features. Deep green
eyes watched her with interest from under killer lashes. As her eyes traveled
lower, she actually felt her breath catch and stop. He stood before her,
shirtless. His smooth muscular chest and six-pack—no wait, make that
eight-pack—rippled down to reveal a smattering of dark hair starting just below
his navel and trailing south to disappear into snug dark rust-colored pants
hanging low on his lean hips. He posed in the doorway, all lithe, sinewy muscle
with colorful tattoo symbols running down the left side of his torso.
Oh, sweet Jesus. She’d died and gone to heaven—or perhaps hell,
since he looked to be so sinfully tempting. Suddenly realizing she stared at
him too intently, she glanced away. A blush crept from her neck on up to heat
her cheeks.
“Greetings. My name is Caelan Virilion.” He didn’t move from the
doorway, perhaps waiting for her to acknowledge him, but his mega-watt smile,
revealing perfect white teeth, captivated her as did his unique name and
lyrical voice. Ah, so the sandalwood scent came from him. He even smelled
yummy.
Greer snapped back to herself as soon as she realized he was
waiting for her to speak. Believing the best defense to be a direct approach,
she stepped forward with her hand outstretched to shake and broke her silence.
“I’m Greer Ivers. I don’t believe I know you or where I am at the moment.
Perhaps you could enlighten me.”
