    About this ebook

    Love and trust don’t always go hand in hand. Michelle and Rachel live happily together in the foothills of Colorado. Rachel has never had any reason to doubt Michelle’s fidelity, but when she hears a broadcast about signs your lover might be cheating on you, she begins to question Michelle’s long hours at the office and the mysterious phone calls she’s been receiving.

    Does Michelle truly love her, or has she found love in the arms of another? Rachel hopes that a romantic Valentine’s Day trip to the cozy resort town of Aspen will answer her questions and lay her fears to rest. Or will she return home with a heart damaged by an emotional landslide?

      Dedication

      Writing this story has truly been a labor of love, and it has been a joy getting my feet wet again after a break of many years. I couldn’t have done this without Angela King-McGavin, my partner in crime of the past 18+ years. Her support, encouragement, love, and friendship is amazing and endless. I appreciate the countless times she read the story for me, even when I know she had other deadlines.

      Thanks also to my very good friend Kathy King for taking the time to read an early version of the story. Her insight and questions about the characters were essential to making an even better story. Thanks as well to Astrid Ohletz for her guidance during the process, and to Day Petersen and Sandra Gerth for their expert editing.

      The first sensation Rachel felt as she woke up was a warm, wet mouth moving lazily across her breast. She sighed, and when she opened her eyes, Michelle’s wicked smile greeted her.

      Oh, sorry, darlin’. Did I wake you? Michelle asked innocently, before swiping her tongue across Rachel’s other nipple.

      Mmm, very funny. Rachel moaned and grasped Michelle’s head in her hands. She loved the way Michelle’s silky, auburn-tinged hair felt between her fingers. Rachel stretched, relishing the feel of Michelle’s skin against hers. "Don’t stop. You
