Chapter One
“It’s too damned cold to be out here
without a coat or the warmth of a woman to
mitigate the frigid temperature.”
Standing in the middle of their mother’s
secluded gazebo watching the falling snow,
Caine McGuire turned to face his older
brother. Kristopher Macarik stood on the
bottom step with a large mug in each hand.
The muted sounds of holiday carols reached
his ears from the big house several hundred
yards down the snow-covered path. The ex-
tended family gathered there for the last of
several holiday dinners before Christmas
dinner at Kristopher’s father’s home.
He thought of the velvet jeweler’s box
resting in the bottom of his suitcase. At the
beginning of the year, he’d been foolish
enough to think he would finally get to spend
the holidays with the woman he loved. But

she’d cured him of that delusion when he
spoke to her two weeks earlier.
“Caine?”
Tearing his thoughts away from the sexy,
full-figured woman he’d fallen for the mo-
ment he saw her, he shrugged. “The only wo-
man I’m interested in mitigating anything
with thinks I should be content to be her
damned boy toy.”
“Thirty-five is hardly a boy, Caine.”
“Try telling her that.”
“Why don’t you show her?”
“Isn’t that what I’m doing by being here
instead of with her?”
“Is it?”
Caine
sighed.
“What
brings
you
out
here?”
“Mom sent me out to bring your ass back
inside.” He shook his head. “I want to be
alone to think.”
“It’s too damn cold out here to do any-
thing
but
freeze
without
a
heavy
coat.”
