Now back in print, New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster's classic, steamy contemporary romance with a suspenseful twist featuring the mysterious mountain man no woman can resist...JAMIE. For fans of B.J. Daniels, Kat Martin, and Jaci Burton. "No one writes alpha heroes and sexy, swoon-worthy romance like Lori Foster." --Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author It's not that the woman in his arms is naked. It's not that he's carrying her up a mountain in a driving storm. What bothers Jamie is that the unconscious redhead is an intruder, someone who could bring him harm. He has his reasons for hiding out in this stark, secluded cabin; for keeping his emotions under wraps; for never, ever getting too close to anyone. But before she passed out in his bed, she said her name was Faith--an appropriate name since he has to take her at her word. Who is she? Why is she here? Who sent her? And what is she doing to him? Jamie's used to feelings of wariness, isolation, of being on guard. What he's not used to is this dangerous, nearly uncontrollable new emotion raging through him like a man on fire. With a bonus chapter included
