A Cinderella moment…with an untamable billionaire

Presley Macarthur was always a plain Jane, a fact her stepmother pointed out at every turn. But Presley's passion is horses, and when a bad business deal leaves her at the mercy of newly wealthy stable owner Kane Harrington, Presley finds herself on the brink of a sensual transformation she never saw coming.

Kane has a use for Presley—to make him legitimate in the exclusive world of high-dollar horse breeding. But there's nothing useful about his growing feelings for her. After losing it all before, is he willing to take the ultimate risk again, and make this woman's passionate transformation complete?

Two hearts, unwilling to love … until fate brings them each other! He’s been hurt before and decided never again. She’s been beat down emotionally all of her life and doesn’t see her own worth. Together they are magic waiting to happen!

Presley Macarthur might not be up on all the finer things in life, but the one thing she does know is horses. It’s her passion, and she’s well respected in the field. When she finds herself stuck in the middle of a mixed up business deal, she has to make some sacrifices she normally wouldn’t make … and she’s not overly happy about it!

Kane Harrington and his brother Mason are trying to get their footing with their new stable, so when he stumbles upon an opportunity to get a foot in the door of the prestigious world by showing up around town with Presley, he jumps at the chance. She might think she’s a plain jane, but he knows that there’s a hidden gem beneath all of that lack of confidence. He just needs to help her bring it to the surface!

THE GAME OF HIS LIFE

Hockey player Ben Westmore has some serious skills---on and off the ice---and he's not above indulging in the many perks of NHL stardom. When a night in Vegas ends in disaster, he realizes two things: 1) it's time to lie low for a while, and 2) he needs a lawyer---fast. But the smoking-hot woman who walks into his office immediately tests all his good intentions.

Olivia Davis doesn't need anyone derailing her career---or her dreams of starting a family---least of all a skirt-chasing player like Ben. But soon he's unleashing a full-court press to convince her that he's the real deal. She's slowly falling for his sweet, rugged charm, but with so much on the line, Olivia has to decide whether Ben can truly change---or if he's just playing the game.

Another sexy, hockey playing Westmore knocks our socks off in the next book in Jennifer Snow’s Colorado Ice series! This family is fun, down-to-earth and a pleasure to spend time with. The connection between Ben and Olivia was sweet … it might not have enthralled me quite as much as Jackson’s story did previously, but was a fast paced joy to read! Looking forward to Asher’s story!

Colorado Avalanche captain Ben Westmore’s partying has finally caught up to him! His love ’em and leave ’em, every night is a party attitude has kept him company for years, but after a night he doesn’t remember in Vegas comes back to haunt him, he decides to lay low for awhile … and get it taken care of FAST!

Attorney Olivia Davis has decided to move forward with her goal of having a family even if she is still single. The last thing she needs is a woman loving playboy trying out his smooth moves on her! She has to admit though … the guy she sees is front of her is so not what she expected! He’s kind, generous, loving to his family … how can she resist him??
