Seven years ago, Hunter had jilted her and married another woman, leaving Sarah nothing but memories of their soft mistletoe kisses. Now a widower with a troubled young son to raise, he was offering her promises of love. But Sarah couldn't afford to trust Hunter again-or admit that she still longed to be swept into his arms. ...Hunter realized his marriage had been a mistake from the beginning, and stayed for the sake of his son, Nicholas. While he'd never forgotten Sarah, or stopped caring for her, he knew she had every reason to hate him-even as she gave her heart to Nicholas. How would he ever gain her trust, and win back the love she tried to deny? As the town glowed with the rosy lights of the holiday, and a guardian angel came to visit, all things suddenly seemed possible--including the miracle of love.

Still, there was something about the ill-mannered little chit that heated his desire and the virile officer couldn't get her out of his mind. Cole was certain that only a night of sensual indulgence would make him forget the wildcat, so when Erin was hopelessly in debt to him, he wagered to forget the cash if she'd share her passion! Amber-eyed Erin preferred any hard-working cowboy to the military career man, but somehow Cole Barrett fired her imagination. His deep, smooth voice made her tremble with anticipation; his erect, towering frame made her lose her self-control. The Comanche-Irish maiden tried to convince herself how odious the captain was: he was an aristocratic snob and an Indian fighter. But she didn't hold back when Cole made his preposterous offer. Erin eagerly bet her innocence, even knowing she'd lose. Already she wanted him forever--and was willing to stake a lifetime of married bliss on a night of the uninhibited ecstasy of Rapture's Gamble.
