He wants an opportunity to get to know her, but she keeps avoiding him. When they become stranded in a hunter's cabin, will she lower her guard and open her heart to Cameron?


How we celebrate Christmas?

Because we live so far away from family and in high elevation (6500’) travel is not always an option for us. We we do travel, we either visit my family in Louisiana or my husband’s family in Kansas. When we visit my family, we meet at my mom’s house with my brother and his wife and my sister and niece. My mom starts cooking at about 8:00 am. Her table is filled with many Cajun dishes. Usually a chicken and sausage gumbo or pork stew, duck, ham, potato salad, green beans (or some other type of vegetable) and whatever else she decides to cook! There’s usually two or three desserts as well. We open presents before Christmas dinner then enjoy the feast then everyone pitches in to clean up. Afterward we visit.

He rounded the table, apparently unaware that the whole family was watching him with interest. When he got to the other side of Mom, Hillary willed him to make eye contact and gave a little wave in greeting. “Hi,” she said. Javier retracted the hand that was lowering Coryn’s water. His lips parted like a curtain to reveal his pearly whites. “Well, if it
