"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either.
I hesitated and he noticed.
"Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance."
"I don't see a gentleman anywhere."
He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed.
"You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am."
*********************
Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free.
Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine.
Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating.
Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening.
When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?
