Widow Amy Northe hasn’t known a man’s company in the six years since her husband died. That all changes the night her son comes in from chores with two strangers in tow. Kenneth and Leon are seeking shelter, and though Amy wants to turn them away, she can’t. There’s a blizzard moving through the Utah mountains, and Leon’s busted ankle has him teetering on the edge of consciousness. She does the only thing she can and takes them in, unaware of the secrets these young men hide.<br><br>Kenneth doesn’t want to take advantage of the older woman’s hospitality, even though she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. But Leon needs help and Amy is a nurse. If he has to satisfy his desire for her with covert trysts with Leon, then that’s what he’ll do, especially since he’s too much of a gentleman to ever think of making advances.<br><br>Until she makes one herself. Then everything changes. For all of them.

Stealing Northe

Oh, Lord. Kenneth. He’d lied to her this whole time. He and Leon had probably been having a good laugh every time she left them alone. Fooling the stupid widow. Taking advantage of her desire to satisfy their own carnal urges. She could almost see Leon taking pleasure in duping her, but Kenneth? Sweet, shy, doting Kenneth?


Amy shoved aside her hurt for a more powerful emotional weapon. How dare they put her and Woody in such danger? They could fool her once, but damned if she was going to let them do it again. She had withstood a lot greater dangers than two young men who thought they had the right to simply take whatever they wanted. She wasn’t about to let this break her down when other, worthier adversaries had failed.
