Katie Quaid could never refuse a dare. In this classic love story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag, fire meets ice when a Yankee heartthrob falls for a resistant proper Southern belle determined to guard her heart. And it was the reason she’d been elected to introduce herself to Briarwood’s intimidatingly gorgeous new resident. It was the quality that had once made her a world-class equestrian. So far he was a CIA agent, a male model, a fugitive—maybe all three. It took one week to make Nick Leone the focus of the Virginia town’s rumor mill. And that made him the greatest danger she’d faced since the accident that had ended her riding career. Whatever Nick was, Katie learned one thing right away: she liked him. Nick had disappointments of his own, but after meeting Katie, he sensed that fate had a better plan all along. In the five years since, she’d buried herself in her business of restoring historic homes, afraid to share her scars with any man—scars that had destroyed more than one dream.
