THE NEXT DAY it was cold and gloomy. The snow had stopped, and all Amelia wanted to do was get out of the house. She wasn’t used to being confined for so long. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if she could hear from Kelley.

She’d listened to the news on the radio and discovered the storm had crippled the entire area, including Helena. Luckily, the weather system was moving on. Now if it would warm up enough so the snow would melt.

She wanted work crews to restore electricity and phone service. Then Boone Gifford could go back to the Sky High Ranch and things would get back to normal. She glanced at the man seated at the kitchen table with Jesse. The same man she’d kissed last night. The same man whose sure hands had caressed her skin, teasing her with a taste of pleasure she’d never experienced before. She bit back a moan of frustration.

“Mom? Are you okay?”

She fought at hiding a blush. “I’m fine, honey. Just tired of being inside.”

The boy’s brown eyes widened. “Boone said if it’s okay with you, and I dress warm, I can go to the barn with him when he feeds the horses.”

Amelia stole a glance at the man she’d been avoiding all morning. He acted as if she was the last person he wanted to be around.
