Untangle My Heart
by Maria

BLURB:
When
her marriage ended in tragedy, Kate DiFrancesco rebuilt her life, but has never
gotten over the pain of what she lost. Seeking the help of an ex-lover ignites
feelings she’s promised never to have again. She’ll need to untangle herself
from dangers in her past in order to break the hard shell around her heart.
Edward
Weston has a lot to prove, both to his stuffy upper-crust British family, and
to himself. Working alongside Kate, a woman
he had a casual relationship with, stirs unexpected feelings. Helping her
family makes him realize what he's missing. For the first time, he wants more
than a one-night stand.
When
Kate is threatened, Edward must overcome feeling unworthy to protect the woman
he loves and fight for the family he never thought he’d have.

Excerpt
Three:
Edward raised an eyebrow toward her. “Are you sure you’re up
for sledding?” he asked, with a glance down at her black high-heeled boots.
She shot him a challenging look. “Only if we race against
you.”
“Me?”
“Lucas and I against you. Loser buys dinner.”
He studied her, almost as though he were weighing how he
could turn this contest in his favor. Then he turned to Lucas. “Why don’t you
grab two sleds, sport, while I negotiate with Kate?”
Lucas nodded and ran off.
Edward hooked his fingers in her jacket pockets and pulled
her closer. “How about if I win, you go on a date with me?”
“That’s playing dirty.”
“Very well. You can explain to Lucas why we’re not racing.”
“I can’t do that. Just look at how excited he is.” She
nodded over to where Lucas stood waiting for available sleds, jumping up and
down and an enthusiastic grin on his face.
“My sled, my rules, or are you afraid you’ll lose?”
He struck a nerve and he knew it. She couldn’t back down
from the challenge. Besides, she’d been rethinking the whole not-dating thing
and almost convinced herself she was being ridiculous for fighting their
attraction. So no matter what happened, she’d figured she’d win.
She met the challenge of his gaze. “One date—and don’t
expect sex.”
He attempted to look shocked, but one side of his mouth
twitched. “Certainly not.”
“Fine. Be prepared to lose.”
