Max liked to take risks. He had always lived on the edge. But when he saw a young woman playing a banjo on the beach in a storm, he realized he faced a different kind of danger.

Faith recognized trouble when she saw it, and Max was definitely trouble. She had known a man like him once before, and she didn't mean to have her heart broken again. She vowed to avoid him at all costs. But when fate and her mother kept throwing them together, she found herself wondering if she had any choice--or if she even wanted one.

This updated version of MAN OF THE MOUNTAINS follows BREAKING THE ICE, the first book of a trilogy featuring three women who work in a law office in the town of Caley Cove, Washington. THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT, the third book in the series, will be published by Muse Creations in 2004.
