She only wants a winter fling with no promises. But rules are there to be broken.
Madison
After being jilted in Kentucky, playing for Calverdale Ladies in England was a chance to escape and spend Christmas alone, avoiding my feelings.
Which is how I’ve ended up snowed in at a Welsh pub with a retired rugby player who’s hot enough to thaw me out.
But when the snow’s gone, so am I. I won’t let another man in, not even one as gorgeous as Geraint…
Geraint
Running the pub, I’ve had flings with guests, but never one as sexy as Madison.
Too bad she’s so closed off. For both our sakes, we’ve agreed to keep our relationship physical. No attachments. No regrets.
Which is good, because I promised my dad I’d hold on to the Dragon Inn, no matter what. So I’m fine with no commitments, because I can’t ask a woman with a brilliant career in London to give everything up to be with me, in the middle of nowhere. Can I?
