āSomeone like you should be smart enough to know better than to do something that stupid, Miss McGraw.ā The man frowned at her as he held her across his lap, riding over to the fence, out of the way of the horses and the men on horseback behind them.
Too stunned to reply, Celia gulped and continued staring at him, gradually comprehending she hadnāt been killed.
At least she assumed she hadnāt died, unless angels wore dusty cowboy hats, dark blue chaps, and were breath-stealing handsome.
Those engaging eyes bore into hers, making her heart skitter in her chest while an entire bushel of butterflies burst into flight in her stomach.
She observed her rescuer. He sat tall in the saddle and had muscles to spare, or so she presumed from the way he easily hoisted her off the ground and onto his horse. A hint of light brown hair peeked out from beneath the brim of his hat. The pale blue shirt he wore almost matched the fascinating shade of his eyes.
Celia experienced the most unreasonable urge to run her fingers along the stubbly expanse of his cheeks, down his square jaw, and over his strong chin. Mesmerized by his full bottom lip, she inhaled a deep breath and nearly choked.
The very scent of him hinted at a lethal combination of freshly fallen snow, a warm winter fire, and sweet seduction rolled into one incredibly enticing package.Ā

No. Her fear was for the big, loveable lunk whoād scared her half witless when she saw him tumble off the roof.
āI believe thatās exactly the point.ā Adamās lopsided grin revealed his dimples and made her mouth water for want of his kiss.
Aggravated with herself, Tia aimed her fury at Adam. āThe point is your recklessness might get you or someone else horribly injured.ā She turned around and strode toward the kitchen door. āI insist youā¦ā
A snowball caught her square in the back. Mouth hanging open in surprise, she spun around and glared at him.
Adam worked to form another snowball, ignoring her scowl.
Incensed, Tia surrendered to the need to stamp her foot. āHow dare you!ā
āJust like this.ā He grinned and lobbed another snowball at her, catching her on the shoulder. Bits of snow sprayed into her face and hair.
āOh! You are in for it now, Adam Guthry!ā Tia bent down and hastily formed a snowball. With unmistakable precision, she threw it at Adam, hitting him on the chin.
He spluttered and returned fire, barely grazing her arm as she twisted away at the last second.
Peals of her laughter filled the quiet December afternoon and drew Toby outside as she and Adam continued to throw snow at each other.
āMama?ā The little boyās lip quivered. āDid you send me inside so you could play without me?ā
