True North
by Beverly Brandt

Rustic Colorado is hardly Claire Brown's idea of a primo vacation spot, but the weeklong getaway at a romantic mountain lodge promises to heal a rift with her increasingly detached fiancé. Armed with her trusty laptop and constantly ringing cell phone, Claire decides to give this vacation thing a try. She can't help sensing, though, that her fiancé might not be as committed to their relationship as she is. The dead giveaway: he's brought another woman along on their romantic holiday...

As proprietor of Hunter's Lodge, John McBride is duty-bound to find suitable accommodations under his sold-out roof for the cell phone addicted, just-jilted guest. As a red- blooded man whose pet peeve is workaholic women, he's determined to steer clear of the suddenly single dynamo who's just checked in for the next nine days.

Unfortunately, the annoying, yet very alluring, Claire has a way of popping up when he least expects it-and as John soon discovers, so does true love...
