A Match Made in Alaska
Hunter Jacobson wants no part of his grandfather’s matchmaking. The lone cowboy is certain that’s what the old man is doing when he trades part of their Montana ranch for Scarlett Murphy’s claim to an old Alaska gold mine. Or is he running one of his legendary scams on the sweet single mom? A trip to Dry Creek, Alaska, reveals the truth—and brings Hunter and Scarlett face-to-face with a past family feud and a vulnerable present. But surprisingly it’s the future that intrigues Hunter most…if he can get Scarlett to make him her groom.
“What’s your game now?”
Scarlett shot Hunter a look as she added, “First you wanted me to go, now you want me to stay. Why?”
“I’m just seeing more possibilities,” Hunter said.
She had a thought. “You do know that kiss didn’t mean anything.” She saw the way his eyes flashed.
“A kiss always means something. Promise. Betrayal. Something.”
“But a kiss doesn’t mean you have to take care of me,” she said. “We don’t need charity.”
“It’s not charity to receive what’s due you.” His voice gentled. “I always take care of my—” He stopped. “Friends.”
His eyes softened and Scarlett wasn’t sure she was ready for that. She couldn’t care about him…not until she could trust him.
She needed to get back to Alaska. Once she was on her own turf, her feelings for Hunter would subside.… Wouldn’t they?

Thick clouds gathered overhead as Hunter Jacobson pressed down on the gas pedal of his pickup, determined to reach the café in Dry Creek, Montana, before his grandfather talked Scarlett Murphy out of whatever money she had in her purse. He had the windows open and leaned forward, feeling the sweat on his back. He’d never seen
