Auctioned to the Ex-Military Mountain Man

For years, he kept writing long after she stopped reading. Tonight, he's done letting letters do the talking.

As the eldest Baker sister responsible for our family bakery, Gimme Some Sugar, I thought I'd finally made peace with Mustang Phillips, with the rumors that shattered my reputation and the heartbreak that followed.

Seven years ago, I stopped opening his letters. He never stopped writing them.

I've spent every day since convincing myself I'm over the rugged ex-military mountain man who once held my future in his hands. No more falling for his flirty smile, his heartfelt declarations, his sexy mustache, or that infuriating cowboy charm.

But now he's back. Hosting the K9 charity auction where a program prank turns my cookie donation into my nookie. Perfect. Just perfect.

"I'm done letting you go," he growls, bidding against himself like a loon before hauling me offstage and straight into his arms. "You're hearing the truth tonight, Daph."

I should run. Refuse to listen. Because one kiss and I'm reminded why losing him nearly devastated me the first time.

And why falling for him again might prove impossible to resist.
