For seven years, she's kept her feelings carefully under wraps because he once made it clear nothing would ever happen; she's too young and he's her boss. But on Christmas eve, just as she's ready to let go of him and move on with her life, the weather gets in the way. Being snowed in with him at work changes everything. As the night evolves, it becomes evident to Octavia that Caleb might like her more than he lets out. When the truth breaks, they make a deal: for as long as the blizzard casts them away from the rest of the world, they agree to give in to their deepest desires. Will they want more, when the snow starts melting in the morning?

(SAMPLE ONLY - FULL BOOK COMING SOON TO AMAZON!) Jay never let anyone get close, save the few he called family but even they could only get so far. Relationships were messy, unpredictable, and sometimes dangerous, but sex was simple, easy. He wasn't the kind of man anyone wanted to spend forever with, not with blood on his hands and madness in his head. Killers who loved their trade weren't made to build beautiful things, only to destroy them. So he built walls before he was even old enough to fully need them, and it kept people safe. Jay wanted no one... until three years ago when someone silently slipped inside. Alex West was impulsive and reckless, often coming off as immature and frequently obnoxious. As a Made man in the Crowe Family, he had responsibilities, but life had taught him to enjoy the moments he had been given, even when he took those moments from others. He lived for pleasure, so when the Jester came into his life three years ago, stoic and cold, barking orders and thriving on inflicted pain, he was intrigued. Jay pushed him away for three years, but Alex steadily pushed back and eventually even distractions stopped working. Then one distraction proves to have far reaching consequences, but this might be the one thing that finally makes Alex stop pushing and walk away. With a war brewing and a target on his back, can Alex stomach the painful reminders of his past when he's with Jay, or will Jay only find emptiness when he reaches for the one person who finally found him?

After posting three books in my Romance on the Ranch Series, the last one being Baby Kisses, I knew I had to post Candy Kisses. The reason is because books three and four are intricately intertwined and I'm positive that the heroine selected for Candy Kisses, first introduced in Baby Kisses, will shock most readers. Let me know if I'm right. This book is dedicated to those who have suffered taunts from bullies. Special Thanks: Alicia for her email inspiring me to continue this series, Silvia for her email suggesting the heroine for this story, Jaime for putting the "Drops" in ChocoDrops, Felicia for her wonderful proofreading skills and encouragement.
