River of Love Synopsis
River
rafting and adventure company owner Sam Braden works hard and plays harder.
He’s fast, focused, and determined—and never at a loss for a willing woman to
share his time with. The trouble is, the only woman he wants refuses him at
every turn.
Physician
assistant Faith Hayes escaped her painful past and built a safe, happy life in
Peaceful Harbor. She’s also put what she’s learned to good use helping others
by founding Women Against Cheaters, an online support group. When her boss’s
sinfully sexy brother sets his sights on sweet Faith, she knows the
self-professed player is everything she shouldn’t want, and she’s determined to
resist him.
Sam
pulls out all the stops, proving to Faith that his past doesn’t have to define
his future. As she lets down her guard and begins to trust Sam, intense
conversations turn to intimate pleasures. But when real life steps in and their
pasts collide, it’s Faith who’s left with something to prove.

Exclusive Excerpt
A
MAN COULD take a wedding for only so long before he drank too much booze or
left with a warm, willing woman to wash away all that purity. Sam Braden stood
with a drink in one hand and a greedy itch in the other, debating doing both.
“I’ll take the redhead if you want the
brunette.” Ty, his youngest brother, lifted his chin in the direction of the
bar. In addition to being a world-renowned mountain climber and photographer,
Ty was also Sam’s carousing partner. “Unless you’re double-dipping tonight, in
which case I’ll go for one of the Staley sisters.”
Sam scoffed. Been there, done them.
He spotted two blondes slinking across
the dance floor toward them. He’d hooked up with the one who was currently
eye-fucking him last month, and the redhead Ty had been ogling moments ago had
joined them in their hot, sweaty romp. His gaze shifted to the sexy brunette
standing by the bar looking like she wanted to jump over it and hide behind it
but she couldn’t quite figure out how. Faith Hayes. He’d been trying not
to look at Faith all night, but he was losing that battle. Faith worked in
Sam’s brother Cole’s medical practice. She was sweet, and good, and smart, and…
Sam should not be thinking about laying her on the bar and doing dirty things
to her gorgeous body.
No. He definitely should not.
Every time he looked at her, every
time he thought of her—which was every damn day—that feeling of wanting
more than a few quick hookups resurfaced. He not only wanted to lay her down on
the bar, but he wanted to take her home. That was bizarre, too, since as a rule
Sam never took any woman to his cabin. But half his visits with Cole at
his office were merely made-up opportunities to get a glimpse of Faith. He
didn’t fully understand his fascination with her, considering he usually
preferred the kind of woman who wanted to jump him and damn well knew
how, but there was no denying the stirring inside him every time she was near.
He forced himself to look away and focused on the dance floor, where Cole,
their eldest brother, danced with his new wife, Leesa, and just beyond, their
younger brother Nate and his fiancée, Jewel, were gazing into each other’s
eyes. Weren’t they always? Sam used to get hives just thinking about being tied
down—unless, of course, it was to a bed. But he couldn’t deny how happy
his brothers seemed since they’d fallen in love, and lately he’d begun feeling
as if he were missing out on something.
The tall blonde sidled up to Sam,
blocking his view of Faith and blinking flirtatiously, while her friend joined
Ty. “You boys look lonely.”
“Ladies,” Sam said smoothly, bringing
his attention back to the pretty girls who definitely knew how to use their
bodies for the good of mankind.
“Care to dance?” she asked, and like a
puppy with a bone, Sam followed her out to the dance floor.
Music and dancing ranked right up
there with white-water rafting in Sam’s book. As the owner of Rough Riders, a
rafting and adventure company, he rarely slowed down, but a strong beat calmed
his internal restlessness. And Sam was always a little restless.
The blonde moved sensuously in his
arms, reminding him of all the reasons a woman should win out over booze
tonight. On that thought, his eyes drifted back to Faith, still standing by the
bar, holding a drink he’d bet was soda, and nervously running her finger up the
side of the glass as she…watched him? Sam’s lips curved up and Faith’s
gaze skittered away. She became adorably flustered whenever he visited Cole at
the office, and though he probably shouldn’t, Sam got a kick out of flirting
with her.
Cole stepped into his line of sight,
blocking his view of Faith and casting a threatening look at Sam, sending the
message, Don’t even think about it.
There were no two ways about it, Sam
loved women and everyone around him knew it. He loved the way they smelled, the
feel of their soft bodies against his hard muscles, their delicate features,
the sounds they made in the throes of passion. But his mind refused to play the
any woman game these days. It was drenched in thoughts of Faith, and he
wanted to experience all those things about her firsthand.
“Sam!” Cole chided.
He shook his head to clear his mind,
laughing under his breath, as he turned his attention back to the woman he was
dancing with. His hands sank to the base of her spine. Mm. She felt
good. His eyes were drawn to Faith again, who was staring into her drink. Bet
you’d feel even better, was his first thought, but it was the second—I
wonder what you’re thinking—that took him by surprise.
