Holiday Hearts & Hidden Desires. Front Lines to Home Fronts

One look and he's done. One kiss and she's his. Waylynn Hull came to the luxurious, snow-covered resort of Moonlight Haven, CO, to spend the holidays with family and avoid all the noise. She certainly didn't expect to run straight into Leonard, her cheating ex, and his "new flavor of the month" draped on his arm. Recently transitioned to civilian life after being deployed in the Army, the fiery veteran finds her anger ratcheting up, knowing she's been bailed on by her brother and left to face her past alone. Barton Gillespie, a multimillionaire CEO who might even be a billionaire now, usually prefers to spend the holidays in solitude, far from matchmakers and talk of his wealth.
The one who decided this meeting should be over the holidays should be shot. But when he catches a scent of cinnamon and lemon, and then hears Waylynn's frustrated rant, he is instantly-and fiercely-aroused. In a moment of possessive attraction, Barton strides across the ballroom, claiming Waylynn by kissing her and declaring to her ex that he is the man "lucky enough to be engaged to this incredible woman". The fake holiday engagement heats up instantly.
Waylynn realizes she's falling for her brother's best friend. Their chemistry is undeniable. But when Waylynn slips away to help a friend in trouble, she attempts to give Barton an out. Too bad the fiercely protective mandoesn't want one. Ignoring incoming storms and his pilot's warnings, Barton charters a helicopter to follow her, determined to prove that their holiday hearts and hidden desires are already cemented by love. This short read is MF with a guaranteed HEA.
