<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Susan Mallery's classic blend of lighthearted humor and intense emotional conflict works its magic on two newcomers to the California town of Fool's Gold, which <i>Library Journal</i> calls "a setting so real and appealing readers will want to start scoping out real estate."<p></p><p>Destiny Mills believes passion has its place -- like in the lyrics of the country songs that made her parents famous. After a childhood full of drama and heartache, she wants a life that's calm. Safe. Everything that Kipling Gilmore isn't. Her temporary assignment with the Fool's Gold search and rescue team puts her in delicious proximity to the former world-class skier every day. Part of her aches to let go for once ... the rest is terrified what'll happen if she does.</p><p>Though an accident ended his career, Kipling still lives for thrills -- and a hot fling with a gorgeous redhead like Destiny would be a welcome diversion. Yet beneath his new coworker's cool facade is a woman who needs more than he's ever given. With her, he's ready to take the risk. But love, like skiing, is all about trust -- and before you soar, you have to be willing to fall.</p>
